The National Road Safety Council's yearly holiday season campaign kicked off today with a gathering of road safety stakeholders in Swakopmund, in the Erongo region.

The campaign runs from today until January 17, 2024, across the country, with a specific focus on the B1 and B2 highways.

There were 67 recorded deaths over the preceding holiday season, with over half of those deaths being linked to speed-related car rollovers.

Works and Transport Minister John Mutorwa has inaugurated the NaTIS office at the Helao Nafidi Town Council premises in the Ohangwena Region.

The office is part of the Roads Authority's quest to bring services closer to the people for effective and efficient service delivery across the country.

The opening of the offices is a collaboration between the Roads Authority and the Helao Nafidi Town Council, which is providing the facility.
