The DA urges all road users to be extra vigilant and cautious when driving or walking on our roads this winter season, with most mornings being misty and causing low visibility.
We would also like to call on the Mpumalanga Traffic Road Officials to be more visible and enforce traffic laws at all times.
They must take swift actions against those who violate the rules of the road.
