The fatalities in Mpumalanga in the Easter weekend of 2023, were about 17, with an increase of 21% change compared to the year 2022.
“I wish all road users who will be traveling throughout the province during this Easter season to do so safely,” said Mandla Ndlovu, the MEC for Public Works, Roads and Transport in Mpumalanga.
The MEC gave out a piece of advice for those who will be using the road to obey the safety road and transport measures.
This coming weekend is referred to as one of the busiest time weekends, and therefore it is highly advisable to follow the safety rules that are set.
