Eastern Cape traffic department gears up for festive season


The Eastern Cape transport department says road safety plans are in place ahead of the festive season.

Transport MEC, Weziwe Tikana met district heads from the provincial traffic department, as well as road safety and communication officials on Friday to finalise the road safety campaign for the festive season.

Department spokesperson, Ncedo Kumbaca says the launch of the Arrive Alive Campaign will take place at the Dukathole Stadium in Aliwal North on December 8.

Kumbaca says a special task team was established to deal with labour relations issues affecting traffic officers, which previously disrupted law enforcement services during the busy festive season.

He says the department will also acquire 120 new vehicles to improve traffic law enforcement during the festive season and beyond.
