Warning that there is a road in St Lucia washing away and for people to travel cautiously. Discussion about passenger transportation legislation and the roles of different parties involved. Poor visibility in Durban and speed should be reduced in the area near schools for road safety. There will also be a motor vehicle registration and licensing services opening soon in Nkandla. There are also complaints from people about their vehicles being "confiscated" and "fines" being demanded for their release by taxi operators. Njomane was asked to reach out to their regional office.
