I hope Fikile Mbalula's car finds itself it front of one of those trucks.

[@iHelpSolveIt]

This should be on railways. Not trucks

[@afx19]

has no one else seen this? who owns all these trucks , who approves the tenders? what happened to the rail infrastructure?

[@ParioPraxis]

This was really hard to watch! Heartbreaking 💔

[@jonomozzy2169]

Migjht even be able to convince these guys to disassemble and move a couple of Gautengs E-tolls stations over there... they might even start earnign revenue from them finally, in speediing offences. My heart goes out to these families, and to the first responders. In all honesty the Truck Owners need to share in both liability & culpability

[@lovefancy]

heartbreaking stuff..

[@tashingakeith5919]

In my own opinion these truckers are given unrealistic targets to get to their destinations and have to make it back to the loading site as quickly as they left. This means that they drive recklessly and in most cases they are not getting enough rest

[@andiledabula7272]

If the government of the day was maintaining and protecting the railway, there would not be a need for the trucks on the roads.

[@dbn43lndn4]

SANRAL needs to sort this out with government immediately.

[@jonomozzy2169]

@10:35 surely if he alone took a 50% paycut, he could still have enough for caviar lifestyle, and enough of a budgbet to commission 23 TWENTY THREE traffic enforcement officers at the going rate of JMPD and have some change left over.

Captured state .. give us your hard earned money and get absolutely nothing back in return!!

[@adamd4306]

They don’t care TIA

[@greebdogg5845]

Eish goverment scratches empty heads.

[@shawndurbs]

I'm sure these drivers must be on their phones watching videos. Obviosly they're not paying attention. In the UK a few years ago there was a truck accident like this and when the police checked the drivers phone they saw he had been watching videos almost his whole journey.

[@bonganikhenisa756]

Move the coal to the railway

[@elisaalighieri2041]

Useless Mbalula

[@jeremyskiddin6676]

Too much money being made & lots of greed!!!! Human life doesn't fit into the equation!!!

[@olam2000]

They must put speed bumps to slow down the truck and cars every 1km and every 3kms they will fix them up.

[@shakranandi8542]

I'm from Germany but grew up in KZN and am sorry that the failings of our previous German government has lead to this energy crisis. The South African government won't do anything for you. Follow the Money: try contacting the German consulate in Durban or even the embassy in Joburg. Or a long shot: tweet to Ricarda Lang, the leader of the German green party that is responsible for the German energy policy. My uncle used to work on the coal train to Richards Bay. What happened to that train line? Is it necessary to transport all the coal by road?

[@lwandiso3997]

The companies are as much at fault as SANRAL is. Such incidences I would start up a private security company and gun down trucks that drive recklessly so that the word will spread if you value your life, value the others lives and drive safely you will live.

[@gideonsmit4344]

Wheatball...I agree!!! He Mbalula is a great doos!!

[@ingrid20234]

And yet Pravin Gordhan denies knowing anything about this, and calls it "allusions" ?

[@mattplaysxboxgames617]

Why don’t they upgrade Durban port so people can utilize the n3 double lanes

[@madcat4563]

"It envolves cost and budget" Ok, fair point buf what about that entourage? Here's an idea, toll gates on both routes for coal trucks only. Sanral should like that idea, they like tax money. Imagine them ploughing through that.

[@WheatBall]

God willing of course
