Transport Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga says an investigation is underway to determine the cause of Monday’s multi-vehicle pileup involving over 30 vehicles on the N3 northbound between Howick and Cedara outside Pietermaritzburg.

Image: Twitter@ArriveAliveThe incident forced authorities to close that stretch of the N3 for at least eight hours.“We wanted to also ascertain as to what happened but what we know is the investigation goes on, and we will wait for the investigation to be finalised and of course after that we will know of what happened.

We always emphasise that the human factors are the causes of road accidents and they count for more than 8 % of accidents on the road and also environmental factors such as mist and so on.”“We understand that six people lost their lives, five on the scene and one at the hospital, three of those are from one family. Our hearts go to those families and we wish that God give them strength to deal with the loss. But also we are aware that there are people in hospitals that sustained injuries.

Caused a major traffic jam and almost more accidents for a photo op🤡

That would imply that he knows why we paint white lines on the road. And put those little reflective cat eyes in. Hint: he doesn't know why we do those things...

She must investigate the fog on the road. It caused a lot of accidents

Fix Transnet. Where's our high speed train between JHB an DBN comrade Ramaphosa dreamt of in his 1st Sona. Somebody wake him up.

Do the hippy hippy shake. Or is that the hippo hippo shake. The lad with the boep is also a prize specimen.

Its simple - one vehicle stopped, the rest didnt

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Or maybe jan van riebeeck

Political grandstanding. Its a joke.

Broken rail network. Too many trucks on the road...

Don't need one. Most South Africans can tell you... Unroadworthy vehicle Excessive speed Too many trucks Drivers bought licences No law enforcement. You can save the money for investigating

🔥

Chikunga? What kind of a surname is that?

One thing this government will do is investigate, aargh🙄

Traffic was backed up for kilometres so this fuck could fly in on a helicopter to view scene

The Transport minister blocked a pivotal highway so she could abuse tax payer money to fly a helicopter and land it in the middle of the N3 to look at tar. What a fucking joke she and her pathetic party are. Voetsek you money abusing wench.

It's the tokolosh. Where's the lunch menu. 🤭🫣

With that fat ass you’d need a snack every 100m or so up the hill... Very simple investigation- you remove rail system, roads are over congested with trucks trying to deliver what rail should’ve... More trucks on road than cars... more accidents caused...

All we need is a billion rand purse to investigate and we promise no funds will be Misappropriated… promise guys!

Was it necessary to divert traffic for this mere crash site visit by officials.. what kind of importance is this... It's insane!

The fog and mist and rain on that hill makes visibility impossible.

Oh, great. Another investigation. Maybe next time we can focus on preventing accidents rather than just investigating them afterward.

What the hell do they know...

Prevention is far much better than investigations.

How do you get hips that massive?

Take these heavy trucks off the road!

One thing we gon do in SA is.....INVESTIGATE! We are number one in that regard.

All the way to PMB to tell us what we know? We thought she was coming with a solution to that high eccident zone

More than likely mostly human error and bad driving habits...

thank you for coming for my help I really appreciate you, i promise to spread your good works to everyone listening ones MarkdonadLisa1

Transport Dept probing circumstances around deadly N3 pile-upAt least five people died on Monday, while scores of others sustained injuries when five trucks, eight minibus taxis and more than 20 light motor vehicles crashed into each other. Lord have mercy, we also need the trucks stopped on Gordon Road travelling from Ontdekkers onto Gordon or from Hendrik Potgieter onto Gordon as very soon this will happen because there are houses on both sides of this road !! May The Deceased Rest in eternal peace, sincere condolences to their families 🙏🏽😞💔😢 for starters, Constuction on this stretch has been going on for 10 years, secondly over a long weekend is it not possible to put a ban on trucks just for a few hours, until the peak traffic subsides, your probing will result in nothing
