“It is deeply concerning and utterly worrying that, people are left hanging on open doors of running vehicles, in certain instances many are left seated on top of vehicles without any protection, while others are left clinging on the back of vehicles; all in insecure manners.”
“This precarious situation if left unaddressed has potential to cause serious Road Traffic Accidents which may lead to loss of lives and severe injuries.”
“In this regard, the executive of the General Transport Union wishes to solicit the cooperation of party leaders, independent candidates, drivers and individuals to always ensure safety is prioritised throughout the campaign period.”
“The GTU shall remain committed to promoting road safety, as well as the free movement of passengers and goods within and outside the country.”
