Poor road infrastructure:
Many roads in South Africa are in a poor state due to inadequate maintenance and insufficient investment. INYAMEKO encourage road safety by ensuring their driver training and education programs are up to date, and by adhering to safety regulations and maintaining their vehicles to operate in good condition.
Congestion:
Traffic congestion is a major problem in urban areas, leading to delays and increased travel time. Providing efficient transport services: INYAMKEO in their own capacity help reduce congestion on the roads by providing efficient and reliable transport services, including fuel delivery.
