Traffic is jammed up around Pietermaritzburg’s showgrounds as thousands of applicants are assembling to apply for trainee provincial inspector posts.
More than 34,000 applications were received for the 200 posts, the KwaZulu-Natal transport department said.
By 10.30am, about 7,000 applicants had written their assessment tests.
Marshalls are managing the movement of applicants, while the Umsunduzi traffic department is working with the Road Traffic Inspectorate to minimise traffic congestion.
