Dear Editor,
A recent accident in the Kwakwani Community brought out a very troubling fact about the community’s roads. No one can be successfully prosecuted for any traffic offense in Kwakwani because the roads are not gazetted.
A community that is in existence for over sixty years with some of the basic infrastructure which can classify it for township, including Police Station and Magistrate Court, 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 level, 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 and it is imperative that we have systems in place to protect, deter, prosecute and probably able to compensate road users. Jocelyn Morian
