ROAD DEATHS: DEPT PLANS TOTAL BAN ON DRIVING AFTER DRINKING
STALLING REVELRY: Before a taxi driver takes a trip, they must do a breathalyser test, which will be linked to the vehicle. If the driver has been drinking the vehicle will not start.

A total ban on any drinking and driving is coming for South African motorists while breathalysers are to be installed in taxis that will prevent drivers who have been drinking from operating the vehicle.
South African National Taxi Council (Santaco) president Abnar Tsebe said last week the breathalysers are to be installed in taxi vehicles “immediately”, with the focus on long distance taxis “for now”, especially ahead of the Easter holidays.
Speaking at a briefing on the 2025-26 festive season road safety performance, Tsebe said before a taxi driver takes a trip, they must do “a breathalyser”, which will be linked to the vehicle. If it shows the driver has been drinking alcohol, the vehicle will not start.
