Southern African Development Community Ministers of Transport say the carnage caused by so-called accidents on the Africa’s roads is totally unacceptable.
The SADC ministers appealed to road users to take responsibility for their safety. They met in Pretoria to adopt an action plan to curb road deaths at the launch of the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety.
The campaign aims to inspire governments, agencies and the civil society to prioritise road safety. In the past two months alone, more than two thousand people, including dozens of children, have died on South Africa's roads.
