Danny Cat (Daantjie Kat), recently paid a visit to Lukhanyo Primary in Zwelihle to demonstrate good road safety habits. He was accompanied by traffic officer Noluthando Kedama from the Overstrand Municipality Traffic Services Department.

The visit was aimed at interacting with the grade R learners to create more awareness towards road safety with the emphasis on pedestrian safety.

The road safety mascot also teaches the children what they should do when doing things like crossing the road.

Morris Tshabalala, principal of Lukhanyo Primary, said it is important to educate children from a young age about road safety because most of them do walk to school and then they have to be aware of their surroundings.

Overstrand Municipality's final budget and IDP will be tabled to Council for adoption on 31 May 2023, and implemented with effect from 1 July.

Municipal account holders are reminded that the annual increase in rates and tariffs, will reflect on their July accounts, which are payable by 20 August.

This is just a reminder to residents to ensure that they first determine if the increased account is not as result of annual increases before making enquiries.
