There is currently an average of 5275 accidents per annum and most of these accidents happen during peak hours and after hours.
This is confirmed by numerous wards who identified the need for visible traffic policing, pedestrian and overhead bridges to assist in reduction of accidents within Mbombela.
There are currently four fire stations in Mbombela, KaNyamazane, WhiteRiver and Kabokweni, though Kabokweni requires additional staff to fully operate.
The unit requires additional fire houses in Matsulu, Ngodwana and Hazyview to enhance ease of access and create a shorter response time to accident scenes.
