MEDIA ALERT
 

KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison Mr Bheki Cele has expressed his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families of four learners who were killed at a horror crash over the weekend after attending a Matric dance at Mariannridge Secondary school.

“The death of young people is indeed a great loss in our society at large. In this particular accident we lost unique talent and skills, we lost our future accountants, engineers and doctors. South Africa is currently importing individuals with unique skills from other countries hence it is imperative for South Africa to groom young talent in order to meet all challenges ahead” said Cele.

“As we are approaching the festive season I urge all drivers and pedestrians to be more cautious on our roads and behave responsibly. Buckle up and don’t drink and drive/walk. Seatbelt use is essential on every journey, no matter how short or how slow you go. Promote the use of designated drivers particularly when attending parties and social events - Road Safety is everybody’s responsibility” Cele concluded.
