Meanwhile, Minister of Transport Sindisiwe Chikunga has sent her condolences at the loss of life resulting from a collision between two vehicles on the N2 near Tsitsikamma in the Eastern Cape.
On Sunday afternoon, a Toyota RAV4, transporting two Swiss tourists and a Mini Cooper with six occupants, collided head-on at around 5.30pm, RTMC spokesperson Simon Zwane reportedly said.
The Minister emphasises the importance of vigilance and alertness among all road users to prevent such tragic accidents from occurring.
“Every life lost on our roads is one too many, and we must all take responsibility for ensuring the safety of ourselves and others,” the Ministry of Transport said.
