The Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) has warned all road users against lawlessness ahead of the Nc’wala traditional ceremony this weekend.
The Eastern Provincial Administration had earlier indicated that the traditional ceremonies in the province will be used to market the tourism potential of Eastern Province.
RTSA Head of Public Relations Fredrick Mubanga says the agency is therefore urging all road users attending the ceremony to follow all traffic rules and regulations to avoid any road crashes.
Mr. Mubanga says the Agency has deployed adequate officers to ensure adherence to road traffic rules and regulations by way of conducting highway traffic patrols along the Great East Road with the aim of screening drivers for drunk driving and excessive speeding among others.
“The RTSA is also conducting road safety education and publicity campaigns to raise public awareness on matters of road safety. The RTSA will continue conducting such activities in all parts of the country to ensure that all road users are abreast with road safety rules and regulations in order to continue saving more lives from avoidable road traffic crashes,” he said.
The Ngoni people of Eastern province will this weekend celebrate the annual traditional ceremony, Nc’wala, which is one of the biggest ceremonies in Zambia and attracts people from all parts of the country and abroad.
