Police urge caution over public holidays

With the President’s Day celebrations upon us, Mmegi engaged the Botswana Police Service Traffic Director, Senior Assistant Commissioner Pilane Sibigi, about their readiness and expectations on the roads. He raised concerns about the surge in road traffic accidents during the holiday period, attributing most of them to avoidable human error.

“This is the period where we record high road deaths because a lot of people will be traveling. We are expecting too much congestion on most of the country’s highways, internal roads, and even roads leading to cattle posts and lands, as it will be a long weekend.” Sibigi said.
