Summary

For the last few months I been collaborating with National Traffic Police and Provincial departments to ensure a safer festive season. Collaborative interventions saw a reduction in road fatalities within the Western Cape for December 2024 to January 2025

I have represented the City of Cape Town in meetings with MEC Sileku regarding the strategic and operational focus of local Traffic.

I have had the privilege of providing feedback to Minister Creecy at National level regarding the collaborative efforts between National , Provincial and local government.

In summary, I am a highly motivated and organized leader dedicated to creating a safer environment for all road users. I am eager to bring my expertise and commitment to your department, confident that I will be a valuable asset in achieving our shared goals.
