The old Potchefstroom road between Mojaji street and Immink drive in Soweto will be closed off for street racing on Sunday, Johannesburg metro police said.

Superintendent Wayne Minnaar on Thursday said the road would be closed between 6am and 5pm for the Westbank Soweto street race.

Part of the old Potchefstroom road would form a track for racing cars and motorcycles.

Motorists travelling out of Soweto were advised to use Mojaji street, Immink drive and Baragwanath road as alternative routes.

Motorists travelling into Soweto could use Masupa street and Klipvalley drive.

The racing would end at 5pm, Minnaar said.
