According to Department: Phuza Weekend Operations: Twenty Seven Drunk Drivers Behind Bars(tested positive of alcoholic and are detained).
The Limpopo Department of Transport and Community Safety conducted a Phuza Weekend operation from Friday, October 10 to Sunday, October 12, 2025.
During this period(over the weekend only), a total of 27 drivers were arrested for drunk driving.
The highest alcohol level recorded during the operation was 1.53mg/1000ml in the Mopani District.
As we observe October as Transport Month, we urge all road users to prioritize road safety and make responsible choices.
To our public transport operators, we appeal to you to ensure your vehicles are roadworthy and obey speed limits. If you’re walking or cycling, wear bright colors to stay visible, especially at night.
We also call on liquor outlets to work with us to keep our roads safe by encouraging patrons to use alternative transport or designate a sober driver.
Let’s work together to create a culture of responsible driving( don’t drink and drive) and make our roads safer for everyone.
