MEC TSOTSO TLHAPI TO ADDRESS LEARNERS’ AT THE PROVINCIAL ROAD SAFETY SCHOOLS DEBATE AS PART OF THUNTSHA LEROLE SERVICE DELIVERY PROGRAMME

North West MEC for the Department of Community Safety and Transport Management, Mme Tsotso Tlhapi will address learners during the Provincial Road Safety Schools Debate as part of the Department’s activities of the Thuntsha Lerole Service Delivery Programme.

The annual Road Safety Schools Debate provides learners from different schools across the Province with an opportunity to take to the podium and robustly deliberate on ways to improve and enhance road safety in the province and the country at large.

The aim of this initiative is to educate learners and instill a culture of road safety, as well as awareness of traffic rules, through learners’ active participation in the debate. In this way, the Department is making a deliberate effort to address the underlying challenges relating to road safety.

The Department of Community Safety and Transport Management in partnership with the Road Traffic Management Cooperation (RTMC) and in collaboration with the Department of Education, continues to conduct the Road Safety Schools Debate Project annually.
The project is one of the National flagship programmes implemented by all Provinces and culminates in the National Road Safety Debate hosted by the Department of Transport.

The competition starts at District level, as a buildup progressing to the Provincial level and ultimately to the National Competition.

MEC Tlhapi will address the learners and present awards in recognition of learners’ participation and achievements in the competition.

Members of the media are invited to cover this year’s Provincial Road Safety Schools Debate Project, which will be held as follows:
