The provincial Department of Transport and Community Safety says the workers were busy with construction on the road when they were hit by the car.
A spokesperson for the department, Vongani Chauke, says they believe the crash was caused by speeding.
"Four construction workers perished on the scene, while the other two were rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
"The driver of the Astra sedan has also been rushed to a hospital for medical attention, and a case of culpable homicide is opened," says Chauke.
Transport MEC Florence Radzilani has sent messages of condolences to the families.
"We urge drivers to exercise extra caution when approaching construction sites, as contractors are repairing and renovating roads throughout the province. Please pay attention to any warning signs and obey instructions," said Radzilani.
