Protesters torched two trucks during a service delivery protest on the N-2 in the vicinity of Markman Industrial Area near Motherwell in Port Elizabeth on Thursday night.

Police spokesperson Captain Andre Beetge says a milk delivery truck, without cargo was set alight on the N2, whilst another truck was stoned and set alight on the M17.

Reports on Friday morning indicate that the protesters were back on the streets.

Commuters at a taxi rank in Motherwell were left stranded on Friday morning as they were unable to board their buses or taxi's.

Protesters have barricaded the entrance into the township.

It is not yet clear what the community is protesting about but it is alleged that it has to do with electricity.

Police are on the scene monitoring the situation.
