As part of commemorating women's month, female officers from various enforcement units today, 07 August 2024, held a multidisciplinary operation on the N2 (Bhoboza fly-over) in the Mtubatuba Local Municipality to ensure compliance on the road.
This is in line with calls by the MEC for Transport and Human Settlements Siboniso Duma to revive our law enforcement agencies and to reintroduce a zero-tolerance approach for all road users in all corners of the province.
This includes re-establishing an integrated plan targeting strategic points in various hot spots, including when you enter KwaZulu-Natal from other provinces and neighboring countries.
Today's multidisciplinary operation consisted of female officers from the Road Traffic Inspectorate, South African Police Services, Home Affairs Immigration and various Local Traffic Police.
In addition, female officials from the Departments of Health and Forestry, Fisheries and Environment participated. This forms part of the ongoing month-wide operations that will be led by females throughout the province as part of commemorating women's month.
Over 360 vehicles were stopped with several motorists being charged for various offences such as driving unroadworthy vehicles, failure to produce driving licences and having correct vehicle documentation.
The female-led operations will continue throughout the month and culminate with various interprovincial roadblocks at key strategic entry points into the province of KwaZulu-Natal.
