MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison Bheki Ntuli, has urged motorists to be vigilant on the roads. This comes after 16 people were killed in a crash on the R34 between Melmoth and Ulundi on Wednesday morning.

Durban:

Three victims from the taxi were burnt beyond recognition and DNA tests will be conducted to authenticate the remains of the deceased. "We will implement interventions to improve legislation, intensifying law enforcement operations across the province and promote driver behavioural change through road safety awareness campaigns. These interventions are intended to end the carnage on our roads," he said.

Here is the first solution: Remove foreign drivers from our roads, they are killing us. This stupid government does not listen. What should we do now for the government to listen?

It’s all taxis!!! Maybe start making sure they stop diving like assholes!

Tired of reading of all these deaths involving taxis! This government has no empathy or sympathy for its people... if they did, they would never allow these death on wheels vehicles on our roads! Like the EFF, taxis have immunity and can pretty much do as they please!

Something wrong with KZN roads and drivers 💔

16?
