The KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison, Mr. Mxolisi Kaunda, Mpumalanga MEC for Public Works, Roads and Transport, Ms. Sasekani Manzini and MEC for Community Safety, Mr. Pat Ngomane, will join efforts in an Interprovincial Law Enforcement Operation tomorrow, the 22nd of December 2016, in Charlestown Volksrust, on the KZN/ Mpumalanga border.
The operation is part of scores of similar multi-disciplinary law enforcement roadblocks staged during this Festive Season’s road safety campaign, which are aimed at reducing road crashes and fatalities. These operations are also used to root out cross-border and provincial criminal activity. As the season reaches its peak, government across provinces – especially KZN, Free State, Eastern Cape and Mpumalanga – is hard at work, creating awareness to ensure that road users are safe and comply with all road traffic rules and signs to save people’s lives.
As a way of ensuring maximum impact, the operation will also see the participation of other law enforcement agencies such as South African Revenue Services (SARS), Home Affairs, South African Police Service (SAPS), and Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC). These add to the KZN Department of Transport’s Road Traffic Inspectorate, Mpumalanga Provincial Traffic Law Enforcement and Transport Inspectorate, Municipal Police, the South African National Defence Force, Emergency Medical Services, and Road Accident Fund.
