Update
GEORGE NEWS - Police have confirmed that two trucks were petrol bombed on the N2 this morning during the rioting.
According to Captain Malcolm Pojie, the trucks were torched near a footbridge.
"Petrol bombs were thrown at them," said Pojie.
He added: "Both Nelson Mandela Boulevard at Fourways in Thembalethu and the N2 between Pacaltsdorp and the Garden Route Mall are closed.
"No arrests have been made yet. Members of Pops and neighbouring police stations deployed to restore order and stability."
Several ATMs in Thembalethu were also damaged.
GO GEORGE UPDATE
All main routes are currently being serviced by buses, but due to a shortage of drivers who cannot get to work from Thembalethu, Routes 3 Blanco Community, 13 City Loop and 61 Pacaltsdorp Community via Syferfontein are not being serviced at the moment.
GO GEORGE is working round the clock to get these services reinstated as soon as possible and calls upon employers for understanding and patience towards workers who have no control over this situation.
