10 November 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) is deeply saddened by yet another horrific crash in the province which has claimed the lives of 14 people.
According to reports, the incident, which involved a minibus taxi and two trucks, took place on the N3 near Estcourt on Monday night. The victims are believed to include 13 females and one male. At this stage the exact cause of the crash remains unknown.
The DA is dismayed by the severe loss of lives on our roads. We extend our most sincere condolences to the families of those who have passed in this most recent incident. With women playing the role of breadwinners and primary caregivers in so many homes, it is deeply saddening that the impact of this devastating incident will undoubtedly be felt for many years to come.
Since September, a staggering 42 people have lost their lives in KZN as a result of crashes involving minibuses and trucks.
