MBABANE: Prime Minister Cleopas Dlamini has launched the country’s first National Road Safety Strategy that speaks to eliminate fatal and serious injury on Eswatini’s roads by 2063.
According to a Government online report published on Thursday, this comes hardly a year after the PM launched Eswatini Government’s 2nd Decade of Action for Road Safety.
“One of the proponents of the Decade of Action on Road Safety is the formulation of clear national strategies on how the reduction of road traffic deaths and serious injuries shall be attained.Whilst the target for the period is to reduce fatal and serious injuries by half by 2030, we need to seriously consider zero fatalities and serious injuries and this is achievable. This ambitious vision is backed by the fact that all fatal and serious injuries on the road are preventable,” said the Prime Minister.
