"They are angry and at 05:00 started barricading roads with rocks, tree-trunks, tyres and other objects. The roads affected are those leading in and out of Daveyton."
He said the blockaded roads included Gumede Street, Eiselen Street and Laurie Road.
Police were trying to remove some of the barricades, he said.
