A MOTHER’S CAMPAIGN: Grieving mom wins Gqeberha road safety battle two years after fatal crash
A mother’s two-year campaign has finally delivered traffic-calming measures at the site where her son died in Walmer in Gqeberha.
Two years after the fatal crash that claimed the life of 12-year-old Aden Lewis in Walmer, Gqeberha, traffic-calming measures have been installed at the site. The safety measures mark the fulfillment of a promise Aden's mother, Jeanine Boshoff, made after his death. Boshoff, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, chronic pain, and memory loss in the accident, has been tirelessly campaigning for safer roads.
Her relentless efforts, which involved dealing with communication issues with the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, have finally borne fruit. Boshoff hopes the new measures will prevent another family from experiencing the same heartbreak. She emphasized that Aden would have continued fighting for change if he could. The specific details of the crash, including the vehicles involved and the driver's charges, are also provided.
