Joburg’s Cycling Awareness Ride @KASIBCNEWS

The City of Johannesburg’s Department of Transport and Pedal Power Association (PPA) are using October Transport Month to promote cycling safety on Joburg roads.

On Sunday 6 October 2024 the first City of Joburg, Safe Cycling Awareness Ride will take place at 08:00 from Metro Park Braamfontein, corner Mandela Bridge and Carr Street.

The 25km ride aims to highlight the importance of both cyclists and motorists being able to share the road safely, cyclists’ vulnerability to accidents including good behaviour and obeying the rules of the road.

As the number of cyclists continues to grow, it is crucial to ensure that both cyclists and motorists are aware of the best practices for sharing the road safely.

The Executive Mayor of Johannesburg, Councillor Dada Morero says, “We are committed to making Johannesburg a safer city for everyone. This campaign is a step towards ensuring that cyclists can enjoy their rides on the road and use our bicycle lanes without fear of accidents hence the call to action #CyclistLivesMatter so motorists should stay wider of the rider.”

Key Points of the Campaign:

1. Education and Awareness: The campaign will include educational programs in schools and community centres to teach the importance of road safety for cyclists. Informative materials will be distributed to highlight the rules of the road and safe cycling practices.

2. Infrastructure Improvements: The city is committed to improving cycling infrastructure, including the addition of more bike lanes and better signage to ensure that cyclists have safe and dedicated spaces to ride.


3. Community Engagement: Local cycling clubs and organizations will be involved in the campaign to foster a sense of community and shared responsibility. Events such as group rides and safety workshops will be organized to engage the public.


4. Enforcement: There will be increased enforcement of traffic laws to protect cyclists. 

This includes stricter penalties for dangerous driving behaviours that put cyclists at risk.

CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT @KASIBCNEWS Please see attached soundbites in English and Afrikaans by Dr Chris Hunsinger MP @KASIBCAUDIO  The DA will request an urgent Parliamentary Portfolio Committee hearing on the ongoing and growing breakdowns of service at South Africa’s major airports. Minister Creecy and the senior management of ACSA must be called to report to committee on the scope of the brewing crisis, and their plans to address it. It is unacceptable that flights are being grounded at South African airports due to failures by entities within the Department of Transport. It simply cannot continue. This week, flights were delayed and diverted at Cape Town International Airport due to a fuel pump failure under the management of Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). Earlier this month, alarming reports revealed that ACSA has fuel supply at OR Tambo International Airport only until the end of January 2025, raising grave concerns about operational stability in February.

SANDF SOLDIERS GUNNED DOWN IN DRC @KASIBCNEWS   Today’s Joint Portfolio Committee meeting on Defence was a crucial moment for the government to be held accountable for the ongoing crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where our troops are once again caught in the crossfire of a foreign conflict. The meeting saw MPs from the DA push the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Angie Motshekga, and the chiefs of the defence force for clarity on key questions. The DA’s MPs demanded to know where the advice for the SANDF deployment came from, who gave that advice, and what oversight measures were in place to ensure the safety and readiness of our troops. Additionally, they asked where the counterintelligence operations were, given the precise coordination and mortar fire of M23 rebels—indicating that the attack was meticulously planned over a number of weeks. Instead of providing the answers South Africans deserve, the Minister and President continue to stonewall and...
