Mpumalanga Community Safety, Security and Liaison MEC Pat Ngomane will this Friday hand over two Junior Traffic Training Centres (JTTCs) in Mhluzi that were built by Anglo American as part of contributing to the province’s goal to have a safe and road crashes free environment. The structures were built in Mvuzo and
Zikhuphule Primary schools at Mhluzi in Steve Tshwete Local Municipality.
These structures are built for learners in pre-schools and primary schools aged between 5 and 15 years to give
them an opportunity to combine their theory on road safety and their motor skills while handling a vehicle. The
basic lay out at the centres conforms to the requirement of the National Road Safety Council and Mpumalanga
Provincial Road Safety manual for practical training on the Junior Traffic Training centres.
JTTC programme consist of theory part where learners are given presentations on the usage of the road signs
and markings and the practical part where they demonstrate what they have learned in class. The structures have streets, sidewalks, parking areas, road traffic signs and markings. The structures represent a real road situation with road markings and signs.
The department with the help of schools and other donors have manage to build 58 JTTC’s in the province in
different primary schools. To further reach learners who do not have structures in their schools, the department
uses mobile JTTCs.
