This was an investigation into the impact of road traffic collisions in Mafikeng.
The study revealed that community members in Mafikeng were aware of the fact
that road traffic collisions had a number of impacts on the lives of the public in
Mafikeng. These included loss of human life, damage to vehicles, medical costs,
travel delays, insurance costs and effects on dependants. Various types of
vehicles were involved in these collisions. The respondent community members
had the view that the quality of the road in the Mafikeng Local Municipality was
the main contributor to road traffic collisions. This was attributed to pot holes on
the roads. They were all in favour of introducing Road safety Programmes in the
municipality. The study recommends the following:
• Accident Report forms should be printed with serial codes in order to
create a database of all traffic collision accidents in the local municipality.
Currently there are no accurate data.
• The use of ICT techniques and facilities should be increased in order to
improve efficiency and effectiveness of data capturing and preservation.
• There must be uniformity in the soft ware used to capture and preserve
data collected.
• Road Safety awareness should be introduced in the school system at all
levels to build a culture of road safety among the public.
• The government programme of Arrive Alive Campaign should not be
promoted only during festive season. It must be a campaign conducted
throughout the year. / Thesis (MBA) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2010
