Ladies and Gentlemen
Allow me to extend a very warm word of welcome to all of you and thank you
for attending this briefing where we will be releasing the preliminary festive
season road safety statistics. However, although we refer to this information
on road safety performance as ‘statistics’, we are talking about
1breadwinners, professionals, mothers, fathers, and children who lost their
lives needlessly on the roads largely due to in the main negligent behaviour.
