Road management, planning and engineering are fields that are continually evolving and SANRAL needs organisational renewal to meet its mandate to manage the growing primary road network and create economic value for the nation. Through the years SANRAL has built an enviable reputation as a global leader in road management, planning and engineering and will be applying this experience and knowledge in new ways to serve South African society and support development. Our track record as an organisation also speaks to the quality of our corporate governance and financial management. The Board embraces the principles contained in the King IV report on corporate governance and we pro-actively implement its recommendations. I want to express my appreciation to the members of the SANRAL Board who are contributing to high standards of corporate governance within the organisation. A word of thanks goes to each and every staff member – both at head office and in the regions – who assists in the building of a strong organisation with a reputation for quality and professionalism. The Board and management have commenced with a process of reviewing SANRAL’s long-term strategy to ensure the organisation responds to changes in its environment. In the coming year, we will consult widely with stakeholders as we develop SANRAL’s new Horizon 2030 strategy. The publication of SANRAL’s Annual Report for 2016/17 comes at a time of major changes both At SANRAL, we are mindful of the impact our within the organisation and in the broader governance procurement policies and practices have on the environment within which we operate. lives of South Africans and the transformation of the construction industry.

DPRU Policy Brief No. 00/P5 December 2000 1 DPRU Policy Brief 00/P5 Foreword The Development Policy Research Unit (DPRU), located within the University of Cape Town’s School of Economics, was formed in 1990 to undertake economic policy-oriented research. The aim of the unit’s work is the achievement of more effective public policy for industrial development in South and Southern Africa. The DPRU’s mission is to undertake internationally recognised policy research that contributes to the quality and effectiveness of such policy. The unit is involved in research activities in the following areas: · labour markets and poverty · regulatory reform · regional integration These policy briefs are intended to catalyse policy debate. They express the views of their respective authors and not necessarily those of the DPRU. They present the major research findings of the Industrial Strategy Project (ISP). The aim of the ISP is to promote industrial development in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) through regional economic integration and cooperation. It is a three-year project that commenced in August 1998 and is funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). Ultimately, this project will identify the policies and programmes that support regional interactions that contribute to the industrialisation of SADC national economies. This

  • Analysis of the Relationship Between the Severity of Road Traffic Crashes and the Human Factors Involved: N4 Toll Route Case Study
    Analysis of the Relationship between the Severity of Road Traffic Crashes and the Human factors involved: N4 Toll Route Case Study by Andries Johannes Gelderblom Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Marion Sinclair March 2021 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature: AJ Gelderblom ______________________ Date: March 2021 Copyright © 2021 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Road safety is considered to be one of the most critical concerns in contemporary society. As a result, reducing road traffic crashes is, arguably, the most critical aspect that needs to be addressed within a roadway system. Injuries and fatalities resulting from traffic crashes are a serious problem. Globally, the number of road traffic deaths continues to rise, reaching a devastating 1.35 million fatalities in 2016, which equates to almost 3700 people being killed on the world’s roads every day. Despite the efforts made by government agencies and the engineering community, the road crash fatality rate in South Africa remains higher than the global average.

A renewed sense of optimism has provided a much-needed boost to confidence and investment. The economic outlook has improved. And government has expressed a new resolve to strengthen policy coordination. Yet this positive turn of events should not blind us to the enormous economic and fiscal challenges facing our country. Economic growth is far too low to reduce alarmingly high unemployment and inequality. Revenue collection, on which government depends to fund social and economic spending programmes, will fall short of projections by R48.2 billion in 2017/18. The finances of several state- owned companies are in a precarious state. The 2017 Medium Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) pointed out that extraordinary measures would be needed to stabilise the public finances. Without such measures, we would only delay the debt reckoning, and a growing share of spending would be absorbed by interest payments. The 2018 Budget proposals address these concerns with resolve.
