19 people have died on the Western Cape roads since Thursday, Western Cape Traffic chief Kenny Africa said.

On Thursday 7 people died in when a car and a truck collided, on Friday 8 people died, Saturday two people, and between  Sunday night  and this morning two more people died.

Africa says most of these accidents occur because of fatigue.

“We would like to urge our motorists, when taking long journeys to plan their trips” Africa said.

“Make sure you stop every two hours or 200 km, get out of the car and walk around it so you can be fit for the next section of the journey” he added.
