The Congress of the People is
calling for government to review the present road rail transport system in the
country.
This follows the death of Minister
Collins Chabane and his two bodyguards who died in a car crash on Sunday
morning.
COPE Spokesperson Dennis Bloem
said government needs to limit trucks on our roads and also increase policing
on the roads.
Bloem says Cope would like to
see firm proposals on the table limiting trucks on our roads. Transport of goods by rail is
the ideal mode because it had worked in the past and very effectively and we
believe it can work now as well.
"We are saying, reverting back
to rail transport of goods will also save our roads which are under serious
pressure because of these heavy vehicles" Bloem added
