For this reason, Ekurhuleni’s Metro Police in partnership with the Gauteng Provincial Traffic Police department will launch a vigorous safe festive season campaign to root out all social ills prevalent during this jovial season on Wednesday, December 2.
“As the City of Ekurhuleni we are taking a firm stance against improper behaviour during this festive season especially on the roads.
“We plead with all road users and pedestrians to adhere to the rules of the road at all times,” said Ekurhuleni spokesperson Themba Gadebe.
* The need for safety on roads was again highlighted when a horrific crash near Westonaria on the West Rand on Sunday killed 19 people when the taxi they were travelling in collided with a heavy-duty truck and burst into flames.
The accident happened on the R28 in Jagersfontein towards Vereeniging just after 12.30pm.
* More information to be published following the launch.
