Johannesburg - The R554 was blocked to traffic on Thursday morning because residents of Eikenhof, south of Johannesburg, were throwing stones at passing cars, metro police said.
Chief-Supt Wayne Minnaar said two illegal shacks were demolished in the area on Tuesday, angering residents.
"Motorists can use the Golden Highway as an alternative."
