The Democratic Alliance has claimed
that the fact that Minister of Transport Dipuo Peters has decided to release
the preliminary festive season road death statistics is damage control.
DA MP of Transport Ian Ollis said
Minister Peters owes it to the public to wait until after the weekend before
releasing the figures.
Ollis said normally the festive
season ends on the 13th of January when all the holiday makers have
returned including the school learners. He also said for Minister to rush to
release the statistics now is some cover up for the high number of deaths on
our roads.
Transport Minister Dipuo Peters is
expected to release the figures today.
