season.
Dube said the MEC and the Chief urges
all road users to join government in making sure that our roads are safe over
this festive season.
Dube said to ensure that they don’t drink
and drive, they don’t speed, they are extra mindful of pedestrians who make up
almost half of the fatalities on our roads.
“To not use cell phones while driving and
ensure that whenever they enter a vehicle and all occupants enter the vehicle
that they are always buckled up Dube added.
