Nyandeni Municipality Leads Road Safety Campaign at Lurhasini School

• Road Safety Education for Children: Children were instructed on how to cross roads safely and the importance of waiting for vehicles at designated points to prevent accidents.
• Promotion of a Clean and Safe Environment: The campaign emphasized keeping surroundings clean as a part of creating a healthy and safe community for all residents.
• Awareness on Drug Abuse Dangers: Children were warned about the destructive effects of drug abuse and encouraged to avoid drugs to protect their health and future.

On 26 August 2025, Nyandeni Local Municipality held a road safety awareness campaign at Lurhasini S.P.S in Ward 10. The initiative aimed to reduce road accidents and ensure the safety of children as they travel to and from school.

Learners were taught the correct way to cross the road safely and the importance of waiting for vehicles to pass at designated points. The programme also stressed the need to keep their surroundings clean, helping to create a safe and healthy environment for all.

As part of the campaign, children were also cautioned about the dangers of drugs. They were reminded that drug abuse destroys lives and denies young people a bright future. The message was clear: avoiding drugs is a step toward protecting one’s health and opportunities.

Parents were encouraged to play an active role in ensuring the safety of their children. They were advised to accompany their children to school where possible and to make sure they use safe and reliable transport.

The campaign combined safety, health, and social responsibility, equipping children and parents alike with knowledge that can protect lives and build stronger communities.
