Today at least 13 South Africans lost their lives and 2 more were seriously injured in a vehicle crash between a minibus taxi and a truck on the R41 in Randfontein.

The IFP sends its sincere condolences to the family and friends of those that have passed on in this absolutely tragic accident. We pray for a speedy recovery to the 2 injured in the accident, and ask law enforcement authorities to investigate this incident thoroughly, to bring closure to the bereaved.

As the IFP we have always called for drivers to conduct themselves in a safe manner on our roads, we have asked time and again for more visible policing, especially during high traffic volume periods- why is this still not being done?
