DRIVERS across the country have been warned to be vigilant as thousands of students return to school today.

The warning comes as the first road fatality of the year was recorded yesterday.

Director Traffic Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mitieli Divuana said a 46-year-old farmer of Vivili Village, Savusavu, was walking along Naidi, Buca Bay Rd, when a vehicle coming from the opposite direction veered to the other side and hit him. The man died on the spot.

“It’s sad because we will start the new school year tomorrow, and drivers will need to consider the thousands of students who will be using our roads,” he said.

“We can expect massive movements on our roads tomorrow (today), especially in the morning and in the afternoon.

“We are calling on everyone to be cautious while on the road. If you are travelling in the bus, taxi, or even as a pedestrian on the road, please exercise safety at times.”

Police investigations into the accident in Savusavu are continuing as the driver is in police custody.

O governador provincial de Malanje, Marcos Alexandre Nhunga, que falava ontem no acto de empossamentos de administradores e directores de gabinete provinciais, apelou aos recém-nomeados a tirarem da cabeça a velha frase “chegou a minha vez” de resolver a vida com o desvio do erário, porque, segundo o governante, os escassos recursos que tem vindo a receber têm sido direccionados para a resolução dos problemas do povo malanjino. Por Berlantino Dário “Tirem da cabeça – chegou a minha vez. Sei que vão escrever muito, mas não vou me importar muito, não vou perder o foco porque vocês sabem a condição financeira do país. Os poucos recursos que temos vindo a receber é para direccioná-los para a resolução dos problemas do povo. Quem pensar que eu agora vou resolver a minha vida, só se nós não dermos conta. Mas, se dermos conta, da mesma maneira que está a tomar posse, também...

– Advertisement – St. Kitts – The Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis holds fast to the notion that our citizens are the bedrock of our nation. We support the right of our nationals to become global citizens and applaud their efforts to explore opportunities in other countries, both near and far. While new developments suggest that over 1.4 million nationals of various countries are expected to be repatriated to their homelands, and this includes 68 nationals of Saint Kitts and Nevis, the government is mindful that the repatriation process begins with official communication from the sending country. As such, we await such official communication. At the same time, Saint Kitts and Nevis will not turn its back on any of its nationals and will make its best effort to resettle our people in the lands of their birth. We believe that each son and daughter of our country has skills...

Jamaicans are being reminded that they need to have a provisional driver’s licence, also known as a learner’s permit, before they can apply for any other type of driver’s licence. Dontae Matthews, manager, Corporate Communications and Public Relations at the Island Traffic Authority (ITA), says the permit allows an unlicensed driver to operate a motor vehicle on the public roads while under the supervision of a licensed operator. To apply for a permit, an individual must be literate, be at least 17 years old and must not have had any road traffic convictions within the last 12 months. Persons are required to pass a Road Code Test before receiving the provisional learner’s licence. Applicants may set an appointment to sit the multiple-choice test at drivers [email protected] or [email protected] or visit any of the ITA’s Service Hubs islandwide. “Now the Road Code Test attracts no cost; it’s a free test. So,...
