Over 150 vehicles stopped, and forty minibuses impounded during an operation in Ekurhuleni.
More than 3 000 people have been arrested at roadblocks across the country since the first of this month. Nine hundred of them were arrested for drunk driving.
Transport Minister Barbara Creecy released the mid-festive season preliminary road safety report in Touws River in the Western Cape.
“We’ve pulled over almost a half a million vehicles, and through those operations, a third of the arrests have been of people who have been driving under the influence of alcohol. And of course, we are also concerned that there have been a number of overloaded vehicles with worn tyres. Unroadworthy vehicles that we’ve also pulled off the road and impounded.”
