Seven Bloody Days on Western Cape Asphalt: 34 Lives, 103 Handcuffs, One Speed Gun Trapped at 167 km/h

29 December 2025 by CapeTownNewsReader

The Western Cape faced a terrible week, with 34 lives lost and 103 arrests on its roads. Speeding, drinking, and tired drivers made the roads very dangerous, especially for people walking or on bikes. One driver was even caught going 167 km/h, much faster than allowed. Many people are very sad because of these crashes, and authorities are trying new ways to make the roads safer.
