Contractors working at the Savanah City housing development in Midvaal have blocked roads protesting over payment.
About 36 sub-contractors have downed tools after the company they work for failed to pay them for November and December.
Johnny Motseki, who is part of the committee representing the sub-contractors, said they have tried to engage the main contractors but nothing happened.
"We've sent our invoices after doing a lot of work. We spent our money to do the work but we still have not been paid," he said.
Motseki said the sub-contractors are owed about R1.1m.
The contractors are building 500 houses at Savanah City which is Gauteng's biggest housing project.
