As the curtain closed on October Transport Month, Limpopo MEC for Transport and Community Safety, Violet Mathye, embarked on a significant journey that embodied the spirit of the month-long campaign. Her oversight visit to Kopano and Madodi Bus Service Depot was more than just a routine inspection – it was a testament to her commitment to promoting passenger safety and responsible public transport operations.
The excitement was palpable as MEC Mathye boarded a commuter bus, joined by officials, bus company representatives, and day-to-day commuters. The atmosphere was electric, filled with anticipation and gratitude. As the bus wound its way from Polokwane Bus Rank to Sebayeng Village, the commuters’ appreciation for MEC Mathye’s leadership was evident. Lively debates and discussions filled the air, and the commuters’ voices echoed with gratitude as they sang her name in appreciation.
The visit was a celebration of safety and excellence, as Kopano and Madodi Bus Service’s remarkable achievement of transporting over six million passengers annually without a single fatality in the past decade was acknowledged. MEC Mathye’s presence was a testament to the Department’s efforts to amplify and replicate best practices across the industry. As the bus ride came to an end, it was clear that this journey was more than just a conclusion to October Transport Month – it was a new chapter in the pursuit of a safer transport sector.
