“The Jan Smuts Drive offramp has also been closed to traffic,” added Jacobs. The cause of the MyCiti bus fire has yet to be declared.
At approximately 8:47, the inbound traffic lanes on the N2 were reopened to traffic. The Jan Smuts Drive offramp remains closed.
The South African reached out to the South African Police Service (SAPS) for comment, which will be added once it is received.
This is a developing story.
