High traffic volumes expected ahead of the Easter weekend

Huge traffic volumes are expected on the roads leading to Limpopo during the upcoming Easter weekend as Zion Christian Church [ZCC] and St Engenas ZCC head to Moria for their religious pilgrimages.

While the two biggest churches had a five-year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the St Engenas Church denomination only held smaller, highly regulated gatherings.
