Over 120 people have been killed in crashes on roads in the Western Cape in the last month.
Mobility Minister Isaac Sileku says they have recorded over 100 fatal crashes this festive season.
Sileku says most of the fatalities have involved passengers in vehicles. He says the Western Cape Metro and the N-1 route have accounted for most of the incidents.
“As many take to the road this time. Let us remember that behind the wheel we hold not just our lives but that of our loved ones and fellow road users in our hands. Help us to help you to arrive safely home. Together we can prevent tragic incidents and make road safety everyone’s responsibility.”
