The graduation of 133 traffic officers will strengthen road safety efforts for the festive season, says the Western Cape Mobility Department.

The graduation ceremony followed a year of training and was held at the Gene Louw Traffic College in Brackenfell on Monday December 9.

"Their training has equipped them with the skills to respond effectively to the challenges of modern traffic law enforcement, especially during the busy festive season,“ said Mobility MEC Isaac Sileku.

He appealed to the public to drive responsibly and to cooperate with the officers.

Premier Alan Winde encouraged the officers to behave responsibly on the roads as well.
