Mr Speaker, the IFP welcomes the new road safety campaign in the Western Cape to name and shame convicted drunk drivers. This campaign will see information on every conviction for drunk driving from every magistrate's court in the province being gathered and released to the media. The transport department then aims to supply the media with the names, addresses, dates, places of conviction and photographs of those convicted.
The same plan of action was implemented in KwaZulu-Natal with great success. These steps will hopefully curb drunken driving as over 2 000 citizens of the Western Cape have been convicted for driving under the influence of liquor this year alone.
The IFP believes that this campaign will have a major positive effect on road safety. We are therefore of the opinion that this programme should be made a national programme as a matter of urgency. [Applause.]
