Mr Speaker, after learning that explosives killed police officers and the driver of a truck this morning, we realised that some measures have to be put in place to prevent the transportation of dangerous cargo on our roads.
The IFP asks the Department of Transport to put strong measures in place to safeguard against these kinds of activities so that it does not happen again, and urges the Department of Transport and transport companies to make sure that the cargo being transported is totally secured and poses no threat to the safety of other road users.
The IFP sends its condolences to the families of the deceased, their relatives and friends.
