Dear Editor,
A recent accident in Kwakwani brought out a very troubling fact about the community’s roads. No one can be successfully prosecuted for any traffic offence in Kwakwani because the roads are not gazetted.
A community that has been in existence for over sixty years with some of the basic infrastructures that would qualify it for township, cannot successfully prosecute traffic violators because of un-gazetted roads.
We, the residents are really living dangerously and have to be thankful for the mercy of the Almighty.
We are calling on all of our elected representatives at the Regional and National levels, the Commissioner of Police and every authority, to thoroughly examine this grave situation with the sole objective to have it corrected within the shortest possible time.
Our community roads are getting dangerous. With the ease at which we are able to access vehicles, it is imperative that we have systems in place to protect, deter, prosecute and probably able to compensate affected road users. Jocelyn Morian
