Always slow down when driving in residential areas and settlements. This is generally where little ones are out and about. #SaveKidsLives @SaferSA_

Yesterday, the @WCGovTPW, in cooperation with the @RAF_SA and Childsafe, distributed 40 child car seats in the Cape Winelands area. Properly fitted car seats reduce the likelihood of fatalities by between 54 & 80%. Thank you to the RAF for this generous and thoughtful donation.
