The 69 traffic officers that are honoured today, lost their lives in the line of duty from 2019 to 2024.
Of these brave men and women, 28 were from Gauteng, 13 from KwaZulu-Natal, nine from Mpumalanga, seven each from the Eastern Cape and Limpopo, two from the National Traffic Police, and one each from the Free State, Northern Cape, and Western Cape.
As we honour these fallen heroes, we also extend our deepest gratitude to their families and loved ones, who continue to carry their memory with strength and pride. Their sacrifices will never be forgotten.
