Easter: A Time of Hope, Renewal, and Joy

Easter symbolizes renewal, hope, and joy worldwide. In South Africa, it signifies resilience, rejuvenation, and transitioning from darkness to light, beyond its religious origins. 

Increased Travel During Easter 

During the festive season, travel typically increases significantly. Here are some statistics and information related to this topic:

During the 2022 Easter period, fatalities increased by almost 40% compared to the previous year. The Border Management Authority plans to increase resources and
operating times at ports of entry for the upcoming weekend, expecting about one million travelers. The Zion Christian Church’s annual pilgrimage to Moria in Limpopo is reopening after the COVID-19 pandemic, likely leading to a further increase in the holiday travelers.

• Plan routes in advance and maintain the vehicle regularly
• Carry essential items and know emergency numbers
