G20 Leaders' Summit | Traffic disruptions to continue
Video Summary
The article is a live news broadcast transcript covering day two of the G20 Leaders' Summit at the Nasrec Expo Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa. It highlights significant traffic disruptions and road closures caused by heightened security measures, leading to congestion on major routes and frustration among commuters who face delays in accessing public transport and getting to work. The Johannesburg Metro Police Department and South African Police Services have deployed additional officers for enhanced visibility and safety protocols around key areas, including a hard lockdown near Nasrec. Business owners in nearby areas like Soweto report positive impacts, with increased customers and revenue due to the event. A protest by Operation Dudula members and other groups was staged outside the venue but prevented by police from marching closer. Reporters on-site note tight security at intersections and ongoing traffic monitoring, expecting similar disruptions as leaders depart earlier than yesterday, potentially exacerbating airport-bound travel issues.
