“Teachers, people who we rely on to help us teach our younger ones and teaching others on road safety and proper road usage but these are the people we are arresting.”

Qiliho says they are looking to address.

“It is very disappointing, like I said these are the people that we are relying to help us get our roads safer. Teachers, there’s a good number of teachers that we have taken off the roads that are involved in this, what are they telling our young ones.”

The Police Force states they will continue to clamp down on these drivers.
