DISHEARTENED mothers in Cape Town's Kosovo informal settlement say the elections are nothing to look forward to unless whoever wins erects speed humps to save their children's lives.
They told Sowetan that since last year five children had been injured and one killed by speeding cars that raced through the informal settlement in Philippi.
Two concerned mothers of car accident victims lashed out at the city, accusing it of negligence.
Nomzingisi Boyana, 30, said her 4-year- old child's leg was amputated after he and a friend were hit by a speeding taxi. The friend was badly injured and died.
Nosipho Laho, 35, said her 5-year-old daughter was on her way to school when she was knocked down by a speeding car. She was critically injured.
Community leader Siyabulela Mafo said these stories showed that the DA was not listening to the concerns of the poor people.
