 
MEDIA ALERT
INTER-FAITH DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT IMBIZOKwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Mr S'bu Ndebele will host an Inter-Faith Department of Transport Imbizo on Tuesday, 27 May 2003 commencing at 09h30 at the City Hall, Durban. It is expected that over a thousand religious leaders from various religious faiths throughout KwaZulu-Natal will meet with senior management from the KZN Transport Department to listen to each other and to share ideas in order to devise a mass mobilisation plan that will effect a lasting change to the carnage on our roads. This plan will then be rolled out throughout the province. The Transport Department in KZN has held mass mobilisation road safety campaigns in the past. The evidence is that campaigns such as Siyabhakhumbula were very effective while they lasted. People did stop and think before they got behind the wheel of a car. There was a reduction in drunk driving, speeding and reckless driving. Sadly, these behavioural changes did not last in everyone. This is especially evident from the recent number of horrific road crashes in the province. For further information and enquiries please contact Rev. TJ Vundla on 083 300 2393. All media are invited to attend. Please note picture opportunities. In order to facilitate logistical arrangements, all media are please requested to confirm attendance by no later than 12h00 on Monday, 26th May 2003.
