House Chairperson, on behalf of the ACDP, I moved without notice:
That the House -
1) notes with regret and sadness the passing away of nine people who were killed in two accidents on KwaZulu-Natal's roads at the weekend;
2) further notes that in one accident that took place near Henley Dam, a truck and bus collided killing four people including a young child; and that in
another accident, five people were killed in a bus accident which overturned on the R56 near Kokstad;
3) acknowledges the unacceptably high fatality rate incurred on our roads annually, which results in emotional and psychological trauma, as well as a huge financial loss to the surviving relatives and the country as a whole;
4) encourages the Minister and the Department of Transport to introduce meaningful interventions which will reduce fatalities on our roads; and
5) conveys its condolences and offers its prayers to the families and relatives of those who passed on.
Agreed to.
