Gauteng records 18 Road Fatalities December 2025 

The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport is calling for heightened vigilance as the province recorded 18 fatalities between 1 and 5 December 2025.  

Current preliminary information indicates that pedestrian deaths remain the highest, followed by drivers. 

A breakdown of the reported fatalities is as follows:
• Johannesburg: 3 fatalities - all pedestrians 
• Ekurhuleni: 5 fatalities - 3 pedestrians, 1 driver, 1 unknown 
• Tshwane: 6 fatalities - 1 pedestrian, 4 drivers, 1 passenger, 1 unknown 
• Emfuleni: 2 fatalities - 1 pedestrian, 1 driver 
• Merafong: 1 fatality - 1 passenger Gauteng 

MEC for Roads and Transport, Kedibone Diale-Tlabela, says the numbers are deeply concerning. “Eighteen lives lost in just five days is alarming. These are families torn apart,not mere statistics,” said MEC Diale-Tlabela. The MEC urged motorists to exercise caution and look out for pedestrians, who remain the most vulnerable road users. “Our pedestrians are dying at an unacceptable rate. Drivers must slow down, remain alert, and share the road safely,” she said. She added that while enforcement has been intensified across high-risk corridors, citizen behaviour remains key. 

“Law enforcement is on the ground, but safety ultimately depends on each of us. We cannot police every stretch of road,” she said. The Department will continue monitoring critical routes and issue updates as part of the Festive Season Road Safety Campaign.

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.
