Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town – Drivers are mostly adhering to disaster regulations, Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula said during an inspection near the Huguenot Tunnel Toll Gate yesterday.<\/p>\n

Mbalula along with Transport MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela visited Paarl, where road inspections were set up.<\/p>\n

Mbalula stopped to ask drivers where they were off to before traffic officials checked whether vehicles\u2019 occupants were adhering to disaster regulations and whether they had necessary travel permits.<\/p>\n

Mbalula said the response to President Cyril Ramaphosa\u2019s plea for people to adhere to regulations was largely positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople have got their masks on. There is order, generally, on the road after the President\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we approach a difficult crossover, law and order on this side since we arrived, is quite encouraging,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Madikizela said the province\u2019s officials have also noted that people were adhering to regulations.<\/p>\n

The provincial traffic services implemented 274 roadblocks, vehicle checkpoint and speed control operations across the province between December 21 and 27, during which 22 685 vehicles were stopped and checked.<\/p>\n

During the same period 25 people \u201311 of them pedestrians \u2013 were killed in 19 crashes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect a number of minibus taxis and buses coming back from provinces especially the Eastern Cape from this evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have issued 500 fines, impounded 10 vehicles and discontinued 81. There is a massive operation in the Western Cape, and as the minister said, a number of people are complying, not only with the rules of road, but with Covid-19 protocols,\u201d Madikizela said.<\/p>\n

There has been a steady increase of active cases of Covid-19 in the Western Cape and certain other provinces over the last few weeks.<\/p>\n

The provincial traffic department has asked people planning to travel to wear a mask over their nose and mouth at all times in any public transport vehicle, whether it is a minibus, a bus, a train, or aircraft.<\/p>\n
