Transport Minister Barbara Creecy has called on motorists to adhere to road rules ahead of the Easter weekend during a safety inspection at the N1 Kranskop tollgate in Limpopo. She emphasised avoiding alcohol and drugs, obeying speed limits, and ensuring vehicles are roadworthy. Authorities reported heavy traffic on major highways as holiday travel begins.
Over 120 motorists have been arrested for drunk driving in Johannesburg since the start of the Easter long weekend. The Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) confirmed two fatalities in separate road crashes, one involving a pedestrian and the other a passenger. JMPD spokesperson Xolani Fihla urged road users to exercise caution as operations continue.
