Cape Argus
|April 23, 2025
ROAD deaths declined from 26 last Easter to 22 this year, with a further 23 fatal shootings, six confirmed suicides and one drowning.
The latest and final data provided by the Western Cape Government shows a total of 22 fatal crashes between April 17 and April 21. The fatalities were 14 pedestrians, five passengers, two drivers and one motorcyclist
The Western Cape Mobility Department's Provincial Traffic Services conducted 784 integrated operations across the province during this period, including roadblocks, vehicle check points and speed control operations.
During integrated operations, over 30 000 vehicles were stopped and checked, with just over 19 000 fines issued for various offences, 8 714 speeding violations recorded and 226 arrests made, of which 181 were for driving under the influence of alcohol.
“The Western Cape Government is encouraged by the slight decline in road-related fatalities over the 2025 Easter weekend, but continues to urge all road users to make responsible choices on the road, especially as another long weekend approaches.
