Police in Gauteng on Wednesday conducted a major road-block on the R21 as part of Operation Paseka.
At least two firearms and cocaine worth R10 000 was recovered at the road block.
Traffic along the R21 was at a standstill as Silindelo Masikane reports...
Law enforcement officers joined forces and stopped almost every single vehicle coming through the road-block.
Metro police could be seen patrolling along the sides of the highway.
Deputy Provincial Police Commissioner Eric Nkuna said the safety of South Africans is a priority ahead of the Easter celebrations.
"We just want to make sure that, at least, people remain safe. The way I have seen it here, it's just thumbs-up, they are happy about what we are doing here," Nkuna said.
