The department made use of a mobile junior traffic circle to show the children at these rural schools the basic rules of the road such as where to cross and what all the road signs mean.
According to Mrs Thokozile Nxumalo of the Department of Transport, all the schools for showed great enthusiasm and worked well with them.
