5 December 2024- The ANC said the festive season has begun in earnest after a productive year from which the people deserve a rest to be with their families and friends. The party said as the year ends, people will be travelling to various parts of the country to be with families and exploring the beautiful land.
The ANC national spokesperson, Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri said they appeal to all road users – both motorists and pedestrians – to exercise extreme caution and care in the usage of the roads as they travel during this festive season to various destinations across the country.
Bhengu-Motsiri said road fatalities put hardships on families and a heavy financial strain on the state, accounting for loss of the beloved ones and bread winners.
“We appeal for the responsible use of our roads by adhering to the rules and road signs, driving within the required limit. Of importance, is to refrain from consumption of alcohol while driving, and as passengers and pedestrians.
“Buckle up, be patient, respect fellow road users and take frequent rests. The ANC wishes everyone a safe journey and to arrive alive. Let us use our roads responsibly,” she said.
Bhengu-Motsiri further said the loss of one life is one too many. She added that they urge motorists to drive safe and stay alive.
