Motorists have been warned to steer clear of Kommetjie Road, between Masiphumelele and Ocean View because of protest action.

The road was closed earlier on Thursday evening, 11 June 2026, after protesters started burning tyres and littering the road with crates and rocks. Flames and smoke could be seen hundreds of metres away. The Masiphumelele-Ocean View-Kommetjie police forum issued a notice warning motorists to use alternative routes. There is no access into Ocean View until further notice, it said.

It was reported that the protest action followed the demolition of illegally built structures next to Ocean View.
