Beefed up law enforcement visibility and speedbumps on the deadly N2 Pongola strip were among the measures KZN acting premier Nomagugu Simelane called for after a horror crash on Friday between a truck and a bakkie left 19 children and two adults dead.

Increased law enforcement and speedbumps are among some of the proposed measures for the deadly N2 Pongola strip.

The SA National Roads Agency, Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula and KwaZulu-Natal's acting premier plan to discuss interventions. "Upon inspecting the accident scene and receiving a technical briefing on what might have been the cause of accident, we are convinced that it's tantamount to murder and the driver should [be] charged as such," Simelane said.Families will never ever be able to see their children and he too must languish in jail. We will leave that to the courts but it should not be a culpable homicide case.

"Extending the road would be a long project that could take years. Immediate interventions would be to erect speed humps, [and] increase law enforcement working with the Provincial Road Traffic Inspectorate and local traffic officers."

Fact is law enforcement did not enforce the law pasted in 2020 prohibiting school children from being transported on bakkie . But now they jump a little to late for those lives . Wake up no amount of laws going to save lives if law enforcement does not enforce the laws

After, after, after.

Why not just fix the rail system

Speed bumps on a national road? 🤣🤣🤣

So someone is getting a speed bump tender 🤔

So vele vele you guys can’t think.

They only act when people lose they lives why so many deaths under this government and its laws

This clown is mad.... Where have you seen a speedhump on a Highway ?

We have people in charge that reacts to something after it happens. We don't have a proactive government.

All the talk will die down in a week or two. They always act as if this is a new problem no one was aware of. Meanwhile the profits from trucking all these products are shared with politicians themselves so goodluck getting trucks off the road
