The Limpopo Department of Transport and Community Safety is fully prepared to handle the expected increase in road traffic as thousands of travellers head into the province for religious gatherings scheduled from 5 to 7 September 2025.
To facilitate a seamless flow of traffic and safeguard all road users, traffic enforcement officers have been strategically positioned along key routes and critical intersections, including the N1, N11, R101, R81, R71, R579, R37, R36, R40, R528, R574, R516, R521, D4040, D19, R524, and R523.
Law enforcement agencies will adopt a firm stance against reckless driving behaviours such as speeding, overloading, driving under the influence, and operating unroadworthy vehicles. Motorists are also urged to take personal responsibility by ensuring their vehicles are in good condition, all occupants wear seatbelts, and to avoid fatigue and distractions like mobile phone use while on the road.
MEC for Transport and Community Safety, Ms Violet Mathye, warmly welcomed all visitors entering Limpopo: “As we come together for these significant gatherings, I call on all road users—whether travelling from afar or within the province—to prioritise safety. Please drive patiently, responsibly, and respectfully. Avoid fatigue, speeding, and overloading, which are major contributors to road accidents. On behalf of the Provincial Government, I wish you safe travels, a peaceful experience, and a safe journey home.”
