Cape Town's Chapman's Peak Drive is expected to be closed for at least two days after a six ton rock has broken off and needs to be brought down off the mountain slopes above the road. Motorists and other road users are urged to make use of the Ou Kaapse Weg as an alternative route during the closure.
