Swapo Road was closed at the intersection of St Andrews Drive before Kensington Drive this evening.
Crisis Medical paramedics along with Ethekwini Fire and Rescue were alerted to the Absa Bank on Swapo Road shortly after 17h00 as bystanders noticed thick white smoke billowing out of the building.
On further inspection it was discovered that the cause of the incident was a fire in a small passageway outside the bank which was feeding smoke into the ducted air conditioning.
Members of Ethekwini Fire and Rescue confirmed that no damage was done to the building or its contents.
Traffic was severely affected as the roadway remained closed to traffic.
