Thirteen thousand people die on South Africa's roads every year and the number is increasing annually.
Transport Minister Jeff Radebe said that this translates to a R43-billion cost to the economy each year. The minister was addressing the two-day transport indaba at the Johannesburg University in Soweto.
Independent Online reports that the South African government has also set aside R3.8 billion for public transport for the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
The indaba two day ends on Monday.
