Easter safety education along RSA- TKC in Zeerust N4

As part of the Safer Easter Roads activities, the Trans-Kalahari Corridor National Committee (TKCNC) with all its multi-stakeholders recently engaged with motorists, mostly truck drivers who are transacting to and from Namibia and Botswana through this corridor.

The TKCNC with its stakeholders focused on general crime prevention, road safety education, Traffic Law Enforcement Act, illegal immigrants, Dangerous Goods Act and Counterfeit Goods Act.

The multi-disciplinary roadblock started with a parade at Zeerust Weight Bridge with the address of the South African Police Service District Commissioner Major General Mmatlhapi Mmolawa who appreciated men and women in the law enforcement fraternity for their willingness to save lives of people during the Easter period.

“We know that people will be enjoying time with their families, some travelling to different destinations including those who will be travelling to their different church destinations. All these road users will depend on our visibility and hard work to ensure that they arrive safely to their different destinations.

Please note that your efforts will never go unnoticed, let us go all out to save the lives of everyone one on the road this Easter. In this process, we will be saving our families and friends,” said General Mmolawa.

During the operation, more than 50 traffic fines were issued to defaulting motorists, 33 warrant of arrests served and R16 000 revenue collected from outstanding warrants of arrest.

The North West MEC for Department of Community Safety and Transport Management, Sello Lehari pleads to the motorists and road users in general to be vigilant at all times to avoid unnecessary incidents and fatalities.

“During these seasons we increase our traffic and police visibility on our roads and streets to do our best for prevention of crime and unnecessary incidents on our roads. However, as the Department we cannot win this challenge alone we need the cooperation from our motorists, road users and communities to safe our lives,” said Lehari who emphasized that crime prevention on communities during Easter needs an intergraded approach.
