The Minister says full statistics will be released once the long weekend officially concludes.
“I don't want to issue statistics at this stage. I would prefer to issue them once the easter weekend is concluded because I don't want to jinx the very good record that we have had so far, but we can say that the fatalities and the crashes are showing a significant decrease in all provinces with the exception of Mpumalanga. “
