Congress of South African Trade Unions in Free State has urged road users to be more vigilant in the upcoming holiday and calls upon the community to donate blood to save lives. 

On the N1 between Bloemfontein and Johannesburg, more than 800 vehicles are driving past the Grasmere toll plaza every hour.

Cosatu Provincial Secretary Monyatso Mahlatsi said during this time there are many accidents, many assault and shootings and many lives could be saved if blood can be available.

"We know that the South African Blood services has always been saying that they have low blood reserve. We are urging communities to donate blood.” Mahlatsi added.
