Johannesburg - Striking truck drivers were marching to the transport and freight bargaining council in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, on Tuesday.
The marchers, led by a large police contingent, brandished sticks and sang struggle songs.
They were expected to deliver a memorandum of grievances to the bargaining council at 12:00. The truckers' strike began a week ago.
Traffic in Braamfontein was heavily affected and metro police urged motorists to avoid the area.
Truck drivers wanted a 12% salary increase while employers had offered 8.5% for next year, and another 0.5% the following year.
