MEC RADZILANI DISTURBED BY THE NEWS OF AN ACCIDENT THAT CLAIMED SEVEN LIVES IN WATERBERG

Limpopo MEC for Transport and Community Safety, Florence Radzilani, is disturbed by the news of the accident that claimed seven lives on the scene, at R101 Sterkrivier Cross road within Waterberg District earlier on Sunday, 23 July 2023.

According to the report, a Polo hatch back sedan collided head on with a Mercedes Benz sedan, and both drivers and 5 other people perished on the scene.

MEC Radzilani sends messages of condolences to the bereaved families. She has raised serious concerns on the number of fatal accidents that are reported during weekends in Limpopo province.

“The number of fatal accidents happening during weekends are of great concern. Every week, we receive reports of fatal accidents during the weekends, especially during early hours in the morning or later at night. This clearly indicate to us that people should practice taking regular breaks and ensure that their vehicles are in a roadworthy condition before they embark on their trips” said MEC Radzilani.
