As part of Transport Month, Mossel Bay Municipality’s Community Development Department, through its ECD and Gender Offices, partnered with the Local Traffic Department to present a Child Trafficking, Road and General Safety Awareness Programme at Sipucule ECD on 7 October 2026.

The programme equipped children, caregivers and officials with practical information on:

🔹 Child trafficking prevention
🔹 Personal safety
🔹 Road and general safety
🔹 Recognising risks and reducing vulnerability
🔹 The Universal Hand Signal for Help

The Local Traffic Department’s mascot, Danny CAT, helped make the road-safety session interactive, accessible and engaging for the children.

A total of 33 participants, including children, caregivers and officials, attended the programme. Through age-appropriate engagement, participants were encouraged to recognise unsafe situations, seek assistance and make safer choices.

The initiative will continue at Vlinderland ECD in Great Brak River on 12 October 2026, extending these important safety messages to more young residents ahead of the festive season.

Thank you to participating officials from the Mossel Bay Municipality for taking this important programme to our children.

Safety awareness starts early. By equipping children with simple, practical knowledge, we help build safer and more informed communities. 💙

📵 𝐍𝐎 𝐓𝐄𝐗𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇 𝐀 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄
October is Transport Month in South Africa, and every safer journey begins with one simple decision: put the phone away while driving.

Sending or reading a text can take your eyes off the road for approximately five seconds.

𝗜𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀, 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆:
🚗 83 metres at 60 km/h
🚗 139 metres at 100 km/h
🚗 167 metres at 120 km/h

That is a significant distance travelled without properly watching the road.

📵 Put down the phone.
👀 Keep your eyes on the road.
🚘 Drive responsibly.

The message can wait. Your safety cannot.
