EFF calls on government to step up road infrastructure maintenance! The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has called on government to step up road maintenance and increase inspections after an early-morning crash that claimed 15 lives in the Eastern Cape.
Fifteen people died, while five others sustained injuries in a head-on collision involving a minibus taxi and a bakkie on the R63 road between Adelaide and Maqoma, formerly known as Fort Beaufort.
EFF calls on government
It’s understood that the minibus taxi was travelling from Qonce to Cape Town when it collided with the bakkie.
The EFF says better road conditions, increased visibility of traffic officers, and ongoing education programmes for road users are essential for bringing down the number of road accidents in the country.
The EFF’s spokesperson Thembi Msane emphasised the importance of reliable road infrastructure.
“The quality of our roads has deteriorated in most areas. So that becomes a high accident zone with potholes and all bridges which are unsafe during high rain season. Most roads in the city, most roads in the rural areas do not have street lights…the visibility becomes very difficult.”
