The multi stakeholder effort to promote road safety programs such as World Remembrance Day for Traffic Victims was led by the Eastern Cape Department of TransportMEC Xolile Nqatha MEC Nqatha was joined by the interfaith community to commemorate this global initiative to save lives on our roads Currently, South Africa records just under 13 000 road fatalities per annum,

which equates to about 35 people per day When carried out seriously, fairly, and consistently, such a system is what road crash victims who have been injured or had a family member killed as the result of someone’s law breaking or negligence deserve and wish for, since it also represents a main factor in prevention, which would meanthatlessonsarelearned from their tragedies so that they may not be repeated
