“The number of fatalities represents a year-on-year increase of 5. 3% (70) compared to the 2023/24 festive season, with a 4. 2% (50) increase in the number of crashes. This is most regrettable, more so because it reverses the incremental strides made in recent years,” said Transport Minister Barbara Creecy Creecy said.
