The march was held last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Vuyokazi Ndima, a community member, they took this decision because a Grade 1 pupil, Nakilondo Likuwe Bakala (7), died after being hit by car on October 18 this year, and the driver ran away while she was waiting for transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said that the residents were worried about these incidents, because this was not the first one to happen in the same area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_7a383044\">\n<div class=\"text\">We have taken this action because of a high number of people who are hit by vehicles, more specially learners from Upper Ngqungqu Primary School. We asked for speed humps in 2014, to both KSD Municipality and Public Works. The affected school also asked for the same thing from KSD Municipality and to Education Portfolio Committee in 2019, but nothing happened.<\/div>\n<div class=\"citation\">Ndime<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>She said these speed humps will slow speeding vehicles down in order to protect those who are crossing the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spokesperson for King Sabatha Dalindyebo (KSD) Local Municipality, Sonwabo Mampoza, said that the road belongs to the provincial Department of Transport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spokesperson for the Department of Transport, Unathi Binqose, said that they do not have records for the request of speed humps, as the community is saying they made a request in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe issue of road safety is our concern as the Department of Transport. We are looking into their request while we are waiting for the processes to get the speed humps; we have to deploy other means of ensuring that there is road safety in that area, like deployment of traffic law enforcement, as well as possible people that are assisting the learners to cross when they are crossing the road,\u201d said Binqose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parents of Gogozayo Administrative Area in Mqanduli hosted a peaceful march demanding feedback about the speed humps they requested in
