GALLERY: Northern areas explode

Port Elizabeth's northern areas exploded today after fed-up parents, pupils and taxi associations brought the area to a standstill.

The area is still a no-go zone and the public has been advised to avoid Stanford Road, Gail Road, 3rd Avenue and also roads between Hartebees Street and Pienaar Street.

Transport came to a complete halt as taxis from the area to other parts of the city joined the day-long action after 33 schools were shut down due to a number of problems, the main one being a shortage of teachers.
