As the country entered level 3 of the coronavirus lockdown on Monday, which saw millions of people returning to work, travel time restrictions being eased and liquor stores open for operation, Arrive Alive noted several incidents of arrests of drunk drivers and fatal road accidents.

In one incident, a motorist lost her life in a tragic accident in Ndwedwe Mission in KwaZulu-Natal. She had been travelling with five other people when the accident occurred.

Arrive Alive said members of the Reaction Unit SA rushed to the scene after receiving multiple calls from the public and family of the injured reporting the accident. “Rusa Medics responded and on arrival found that all six occupants of a grey Hyundai i20 had been ejected from the vehicle which was lying on its roof. A woman who was identified as the driver died at the scene while five passengers sustained serious injuries,” Arrive Alive said.

“A 19-year-old boy was airlifted to a hospital in Pietermaritzburg while the remaining injured were transported to local hospitals by ambulance. It is alleged that while travelling on the dark stretch of road the driver lost control of the vehicle causing it to overturn multiple times,” the group said.

We did not suffer lockdown. We suffered our own psychological drama. The difference is, after lockdown, it's now out in public.

Irresponsible adults drink and drive, can't blame that on the president, they have been killing each other even before covid-19, people use your heads.

I blame government for this. They shouldn't have banned the sale of alcohol at all. We could have been used to drinking at home by now especially during level 5.

Cigarettes would not have caused these accidents... Where's NDZ now?

That was quick!!!

Thats the work of alcohol it makes us victims of our actions

Iam totally not suprised the question is how many more should innocent people die coz of alcohol?

MR President has unleashed the beast,we all know the danger of alcohol!but he had no option he was under enormous pressure....South Africans still have a long way to go...one of this days we will drown in our own tears....

he should have smoked a ZOL before drinking, to calm himself down

Can we talk about church now? We need a Pastor to bury the innocent souls 💔 Church vs Alcohol.
