The Highest Accident Zones in South Africa

South African roads have become a dangerous place to venture onto. Find where in your province is a high-risk zone.
South Africa's roads can be a very dangerous place when it comes to travelling long distances. This has resulted in a high fatality rate on our roads due to disobedient and unqualified motorists. On July 4, the Minister of Transport,  Mr Joe Maswanganyi, appealed to motorists to be vigilant while driving. This comes after a series of fatal crashes that have taken place around the country over the past week. In conjunction with this, Maswanganyi has instructed the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) to verify the current number of unroadworthy and unregistered vehicles on the roads. The reason for the majority of road accidents, according to the Maswanganyi still remains the human factor. The Minister has advised citizens to comply with the rules of the road and ensure that they are driving legally.
“South Africans, if you got your learner's and driver license through dubious means know that you will soon lose it. It cannot be that people can escape with such impunity. Our people deserve the best and it is our duty to uproot these much-detested practices and get to the core of the causes of these carnages and fatalities” said Minister Maswanganyi.
