Deputy Transport Minister Dikeledi Magadzi was expected to lead a multi-disciplinary traffic law enforcement and women’s month launch on Friday, in a continued commitment to reducing fatalities on South Africa’s roads.
The multi-disciplinary traffic law enforcement activation would be undertaken jointly with the North West provincial department of roads and transport, the Rustenburg municipality, the National Traffic Police (NTP) led by the Road Trafic Management Corporation, the South African Police Service and Customs under the banner of the Trans-Kalahari Corridor.
