It comes after three people were killed on the R61 between Ramsgate and Southbroom on the South Coast yesterday. 


Two girls around 7 years of age and a woman believed to be in her 30s was declared dead on scene while 17 others were left injured. 


Department spokesperson, Gugu Sisilana, says the high number of accidents are a concern for MEC Peggy Nkonyeni.


"MEC Nkonyeni says in order to reduce the number of road crashes especially leading up to the long Easter weekend, due to the expected influx of vehicles to our province law enforcement agencies will be conducting multi-disciplinary operations", she said


"These operations will be targeting high accident hotspots, events and liquor outlets" Sisilana said.
