The Western Cape Government has extended its deepest condolences to the family of a 27 year old actor Thabang Sidloyi.

Sidloyi was involved in a horrific crash on the N2 on Friday.

Ministerial Spokesperson Siphesihle Dube said we will be clamping down on reckless and irresponsible road use over the festive period, and ask all road users to join the department as we tackle this scourge, and continue to ensure that fewer lives are lost on our roads as a result.

Dube said the Western Cape Government extends its deepest condolences to Sidloyi’s family and loved ones. As tragic and senseless as road deaths are, they are also avoidable through responsible road use.

Dube said a preliminary account of the collision, from Provincial Traffic Services, indicates that three light motor vehicles were involved, a Kia, a Peugeot, and a BMW convertible. The incident took place on Friday, 28 November, at approximately 19:50 on the N2, where the driver of the BMW convertible allegedly lost control of the vehicle.

Dube said excessive speeds, alcohol consumption, and not buckling up, continue to be the biggest killers on our roads.

Dube said they appeal to all road users to exercise extreme caution as our roads are set to get busier and busier over the upcoming festive season.

“We will be clamping down on reckless and irresponsible road use over this period, and ask all road users to join us as we tackle this scourge, and continue to ensure that fewer lives are lost on our roads as a result Dube added.
