The police officer from the traffic department further cautioned motorists to be vigilant when driving down the hilarious Malagwane hill, which will help minimize accident risks.
Meanwhile, Chief Roads Engineer under the Ministry of Public Works and Transport Vincent Dlamini thanked motorists for being patient during the period when the traffic lights were not functioning.

Dlamini added that it government is trying to reduce cases of copper theft, including traffic lights vandalism.
In addition, the Chief Engineer thanked the company that installed the traffic lights, saying it managed to do the job in a short time.
