The festive season is upon us, and the department of transport has announced that law enforcement authorities will heighten roadblocks and visibility to clamp down on unroadworthy vehicles and drunk driving, among other transgressions.
Transport minister Barbara Creecy last week launched the 365-day Arrive Alive road safety campaign in Kroonstad, Free State, and said safer roads depend on every driver, passenger and pedestrian making responsible choices.
She noted that for the first time in five consecutive years, the country in 2025 had managed to reduce road fatalities by 700.
