The "robbery" will be staged as part of a commercial shoot for a tamperproof and wireless locking device.



Commercial director Rinus Viljoen says the far left lane of the Stormvoël onramp towards the N1 will be closed between 11:30 and 14:00.



Tshwane Metro Police are expected to cordon off the road. 



"We want to warn motorists, especially because it's an armed robbery that will be re-enacted. We don't want vigilantes jumping out with his gun shooting our actors," Viljoen explains. 



Actors Nico Panagio and Adriaan Marais are set to star in the commercial.
