Daily Observer: "Last Monday the country woke up to yet another tragic development, another disaster on our roads. Whether it was as a result of a faulty break, drunkenness, over speeding, or what have we, it simply does not matter anymore. All we know is that our unilaterally declared Road Safety Campaign has yielded the most graphic of carnage since we kick-started the campaign.
Ten innocent people have lost their lives, and a number of others are currently hospitalised, between life and death, and some permanently incapacitated. For God’s sake, could we not see reason enough to stop these unnecessary killing and maiming? It takes just the smallest act of recklessness to destroy the lives of other people who have an equal right to live?
The revelations that surfaced in the wake of this unfortunate development go far beyond highlighting the ardent need to rein in our drivers and vehicle owners. It also demands that we look a little bit into the roles of other relevant institutions in this effort."
