At least 35% of the people who died on the roads over the Easter long weekend were pedestrians, according to Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula – who described the statistic as “disturbing” on Thursday while releasing the 2021 Easter Arrive Alive Safety statistics at the Grasmere Toll Plaza in Gauteng. 
But, he countered, there had been a decline in the nationwide road death toll for the same period, and this should be applauded.
