Traffic cops need more manpower
It is also our responsibility to stay within the laws when travelling on the roads. Let's make Randfontein an accident-free zone.

Let me start by applauding the Rand West City Local Municipality traffic officers for their dedicated efforts in monitoring and combating the road fatalities within our vicinity on a regular basis.
I am not an expert but just a driver and road user, therefore my observations can be proven otherwise. I want to reiterate on the basis of accidents which took place within two days on the R28 road from Randfontein [close] to Uncle Harry’s intersection.
One Wednesday in January on the R28 at a four-way stop a mini bus taxi collided with a truck causing it to overturn.
Two days later, on the same road, this time next to a primary school, another car was involved in an accident. On the same morning, two other vehicles collided in T-bone fashion.
These were but some of the accidents I can remember, there might be more. I therefore urge motorists, even pedestrians, to please be patient on the road.
I also wish to ask municipal officials to consider employing more traffic police personnel. More officers will increase visibility and hopefully curb road fatalities.

I thank you.
