THE City of Johannesburg aims to end the carnage on its roads by embarking on continuous safety campaigns, and have called on the community to join the party.

Joined by people with disabilities arising from road accidents, member of the city's mayoral committee on transport Rehana Moosajee said the senseless road carnage had to end.

Moosajee said: "Road safety is not confined to the festive season. This weekend, 30 people died on the country's roads ... we cannot allow that to continue.

"There is no magic wand to solve the problem, we need to work together. We cannot have residents digging up roads after one of their own killed a child on the road."

Moosajee said road users had to live by values that included honesty, cooperation, respect, ubuntu and accountability.

She said the media also had a role to play by starting conversations about values of transport.

Disabled People of South Africa's Mzwandile Sibiya lauded the campaign, labelling it "a good step by the city".

"It should not start and end during the festive seasons. People should drive safely all the time."

Sibiya pleaded with road users to be alert and respect each other.
