Oshakati Mayor Leonard Hango says the establishment of his council's traffic law enforcement unit is aimed at promoting responsible road users' behaviour, protecting lives, improving traffic flow and ensuring that Oshakati remains a safe, orderly and well-managed town for residents, businesses and visitors alike.

Works and Transport Minister Veikko Nekundi has officially launched the Oshakati Town Council traffic law enforcement unit with a call to urgently invest in the technology that will manage and control traffic in the town.

As the festive season approaches, Police Head of Traffic Law Enforcement Directorate, Commissioner Petrus Swartz, has urged road users to prioritise safety following a fatal accident on the Western Bypass this afternoon.

Works and Transport Minister Veikko Nekundi has issued a stern warning to traffic officers allegedly harassing seven-seater vehicle operators, stating that such conduct will not be tolerated.

To reduce and ultimately prevent road fatalities during the festive season, the National Road Safety Council has launched the 2024-2025 Road Safety Campaign in Tsumeb.

Deputy Minister of Works and Transport, Veikko Nekundi, emphasized that most road accidents are a result of user behavior.
