Massive decline of 48% in Easter road fatalities: Nzimande | IOL News

Pretoria - The number of Easter road fatalities has this year decreased by 48 percent, in comparison to 2018, Transport Minister Bonginkosi Blade Nzimande said on Thursday.

"I am pleased to announce that the number of fatalities decreased by 48 percent from 309 in 2018 to 162 in 2019. This marks a decrease of 147 fatalities. However, government is still concerned even by a single loss of life on our roads. All provinces recorded decreases in the number of fatalities," Nzimande addressed journalists in Pretoria.

It's not off to believe that the road traffic was reduced this year compared to previous year(s) due to weirdly planned school holidays and other factors (e.g. Fuel Price), and the figures must not be read in isolation from that context. This could be another cheap victory claim.

But DrBladeNzimande must do something about his PF...hayyi maniiii

Good news This seems like good news, but did we have the same volume of traffic in 2018 and 2019? It would be more informative to compare the volumes of traffic to the fatalities in order to ascertain improvement or not. Condolences to the bereaved, May they be comforted.
