'We will launch a massive safety compliance drive targeting public transport and bus operations.'

Mbalula said it was believed that the bus driver lost control of the vehicle, but further investigations into the cause of the crash were still being conducted.

The minister visited those who were still in hospital and also addressed concerned community members, promising harsher punishment for those operating unroadworthy public transport vehicles. Ensuring that our people are safe on our roads must be a daily preoccupation. Holding those who transport our people accountable, whether the elderly or scholars, must find practical expression in our daily activities.

Hehe 😞

It took 24 hours to get a helicopter to the scene?

Just let all bus and truck drivers take alcohol and drug testing before they get in behind the wheel and we will have half the accidents. Tests for proper driving will eliminate the rest.

But why do people have to die first?

Please also think about the conditions of the roads in these areas because we can blame drives or their driving but the roads for those areas are not even good for the wheelbarrows

Promises, promises 🤥

Targeting all cars on the road, and this should be a daily operation not only now you think of the launches. People are dead already MbalulaFikile Why are you guys get paid for? Whats your deputy busy with when you do something else? Yerrrrr nenza imigaranto ngobomi babantu

They are always shocked, I’m not surprised. 🤭

Maybe you should have done this years ago and looked at potholes and road quality?! Also your 1000 metro officers sent back to school shows what kind of policing you have on the roads. Cops afraid of traffic and crime. Pathetic!!!
