COSATU ON PHUZA DRIVERS! ~.
COSATU is proposing stricter rules and regulations for road users to help reduce fatalities on Mzansi roads.
They believe the road fatalities which amount to about 14 000 lives every year was a threat to economic survival.
In its proposal document presented to Parliament’s Portfolio Committee hearing of the National Traffic Amendment Bill, the labour federation called for a tougher stance on unroadworthy vehicles and corrupt traffic officials whom it said must be banned from running businesses in the sector.
The federation pointed out that thousands of lives were lost due to reckless driving by those who should not have been licensed to drive in the first place, while 25% were due to drunk driving.

DURBAN - THE question about where the victim-friendly rooms in police stations are, is a recurring one in Parliament and yesterday was no different.
A number of members of the Parliament Portfolio Committee on Police had asked the SAPS about the lack of victim-friendly rooms for victims of gender-based violence (GBV) in police stations during a meeting yesterday.
According to the police, a victim-friendly room must provide an opportunity for victims of intimate violence such as GBV and child abuse to make their statements in private, in a non-threatening environment.
