The Gauteng Department of Community Safety has issued a stern warning to all learner transport, taxi, and bus operators in the province, emphasizing their commitment to road safety as schools reopen for the final term of the 2026 academic year on Tuesday. Department spokesperson Sello Maremane stressed that operators must conduct thorough safety checks on their vehicles to prevent any potential accidents and urged them to avoid overloading their vehicles, as non-compliance with traffic laws will not be tolerated.
Road safety is a collective responsibility, and the department calls on all public transport operators to prioritize the safety of learners, educators, and other road users on every journey.
