It has been a deadly period on KZN’s roads with 142 fatalities since the start of the festive season.

Last week, KZN Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube called on motorists to be extra vigilant on the road, especially as traffic volumes continue to increase.

“Road fatalities are a major concern to the provincial government because, since the start of the festive season, we have lost the lives of more than 142 people on our roads. It takes each individual playing their part to curb the high rate of accidents that occur each year on our roads,” Dube-Ncube said.
