MOKOPANE : Limpopo MEC for Transport and Community Safety, Florence Radzilani says she is disturbed by the news of the accident that claimed seven lives on the scene, at R101 Sterkrivier Cross road within Waterberg District this morning.

According to the report, a Polo hatchback sedan collided head-on with a Mercedes Benz sedan, and both drivers and 5 other people perished on the scene.

MEC Radzilani has raised serious concerns about the number of fatal accidents that are reported during weekends in Limpopo province.

“The number of fatal accidents happening during weekends is of great concern. Every week, we receive reports of fatal accidents during the weekends, especially during early hours in the morning or later at night. This indicates to us that people should practice taking regular breaks and ensure that their vehicles are in a roadworthy condition before they embark on their trips” said MEC Radzilani.
