Plan your route in advance and take note of any alternate routes you could utilise in case of any unexpected delays or road closures,\u201d says Sarah Kekana, Netcare 911 spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make use of these tips from Netcare 911 to prepare for a journey:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-planning-your-travel\"><strong>Planning your travel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make sure your car is ready and roadworthy.

The roads will be busy, and it is important to have consideration for other road users. Keep your cool because when tempers flare on the roads, the outcome can be fatal,\u201d says Kekana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The driver must ensure that everyone is buckled up safely in their seats. Babies and children should be strapped into reliable, age-appropriate car seats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep those travelling with you safe by ensuring you never engage in distracted driving. Ask a passenger to monitor traffic reports and alerts on X (formerly Twitter) and road travel apps for you. Listen to the local regional radio service to tune into their traffic reports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speed really does kill. Stick to the speed limit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not drive if you have consumed alcohol or taken drugs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is no harm in listening to a podcast or your favourite music to keep the boredom at bay while the kilometres roll by. Just make sure to get a passenger to find and play them for you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep a safe travelling distance of at least three seconds, and double this in wet weather. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You should stop every two hours in well-lit, safe areas away from the roadside to stretch your legs and rest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stay well-hydrated and keep the inside temperature of your car cool while driving. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-at-your-destination\"><strong>At your destination<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Only swim in designated areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are near water, watch your children at all times. They should not wander off alone without an adult escort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limit your exposure to the sun to before 11:00 and after 15:00, and use sunblock with a high sun protection factor. Reapply it often, even in overcast weather, and wear a hat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be careful of what and where you eat. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never hike alone. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the weather forecast before engaging in outdoor activities. Extreme heat or forecasted thunderstorms could mean you need to replan your day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not assume a place is safe simply because it seems like a friendly holiday destination. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid walking alone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-help-is-on-hand\"><strong>Help is on hand<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf the unthinkable happens and you need help in a medical emergency, contact Netcare 911 on 082-911 or download the Netcare App in advance to easily reach us,\u201d says Kekana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Netcare App includes emergency call and geolocation functions to assist in minimising response times by precisely locating callers \u2013 even in remote areas or if the caller does not know the address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Netcare App also includes a Netcare 911 60-second call back option and provides tracking of the ambulance and response vehicles\u2019 estimated arrival

The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province.

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms.
