RNews reports that the strike by Eastern Cape traffic police has spread to three of the six district municipalities in the province, the Democratic Alliance (DA) warned on Monday.
This means that there is no or limited law enforcement on the roads in those areas at night, traffic cops are only working from 08:00 to 16:00 as they are not being paid overtime and they are also refusing to undertake other work such as attending to any road accidents that occur after hours.
