Was Freedom Day weekend the tipping point?
6 May 2016
While KZN registered the highest number of over 330 deaths, Gauteng was shamefully a close second.
Is it too much to expect that the national Minister of Transport, Dipuo Peters, and the Provincial authorities have finally been prompted to action by last weekend’s unprecedented slaughter on South African roads?
Over a month ago, after the annual Easter road carnage, Minister Dipuo Peters, surprised everyone by proposing a “name and shame” campaign to improve motorist behaviour.
The irony is that this government stopped an identical and significantly successful campaign in the Western Cape.
