culpable homicide cases from December that are linked to road crashes on the N2
in oPhongolo.
The northern KZN town has been in the spotlight following last month's head-on collision that killed 20 people, 18 were children.
It involved a truck and bakkie that was carrying primary school pupils.
A multi-disciplinary law enforcement operation was conducted in the area on Friday.

"We also held a meeting with the various stakeholders including the truck owners, truck drivers, amakhosi as well as the chairpersons of the traditional leaderships with a view of explaining the measures that are being put in place by the government to alleviate the problems our people are facing along that route."
