Durban July traffic operation a taste of things to come - Mbalula

Durban – The special road safety operation implemented in KwaZulu-Natal for the Vodacom Durban July horse race weekend has laid the foundation for continuous road safety law enforcement, Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula said on Sunday.

The ministry was also confronting corruption in the transport industry head-on. “[This will come] from all sides, from citizenry who bribe the police and in so doing are undermining the law. This leads to fatalities on our roads,” he said."Over and above that, we also need to deal with the question of how we use information technology in law enforcement on our roads to enable the police to maintain law and order and thereby decrease fatalities,” Mbalula said.

Apart from "a few rotten potatoes", It had been a magnificent weekend. But authorities would find those who undermined the law, he said. “We activated [the operation] for KZN using the hashtag #LiveBeyondJuly to ensure that we deal with lawlessness on our roads and the fact that people were coming here in their numbers,” Mbalula said.
