Road Rangers empowerment sessions

In an effort to develop and empower road rangers, the department's Community Based Transportation Innovation and Empowerment sub programme will embark on a number of Road Ranger Empowerment sessions throughout the province.

The main purpose is to:

• Ensure that Road Rangers are empowered and look into their well-being and the communities where they are being deployed.
• Strengthen working relations between the department and the communities where Road Rangers are deployed with the hope that this will eliminate challenges facing Road Rangers on the ground.  

A variety of stakeholders that will be empowering the Road Rangers, among others, include:

• Councillors
• Traditional leaders
• Road Rangers themselves
• Traffic Officers
• Departments of Agriculture, Health, SAPS, RAF, Labour and institutions like SPCA
• Road safety directorate

Dates for these sessions are as follows:
