A prominent South African anti-immigration activist has sparked widespread debate after reportedly telling a court that he could not afford legal representation because he is unemployed. According to reports, the activist told the judge, “I don’t have a lawyer because I don’t work,” a statement that quickly went viral on social media and reignited discussions around unemployment, immigration, and xenophobia in South Africa. The incident has also renewed conversations about anti-immigrant sentiment in the country. Over the years, thousands of African migrants have been affected by waves of xenophobic violence, with foreign-owned businesses looted, properties destroyed, and many families forced to flee their communities.

LASDRI REWARDS 30 PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS FOR DILIGENCE, SAFETY .(PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE


In a bid to inculcate the requisite positive road culture and sanity in motorists and the commuting public, it is important to introduce an awards programme for all categories of drivers in the private and commercial sectors who have exhibited due diligence and professionalism towards ensuring safety on the roads.

Commissioner of Transportation, Mr. Oluwseun Osiyemi stated this at the Year 2023 Drivers Recognition and Awards ceremony organised by the Lagos State Drivers’ Institute (LASDRI) with the theme, “Nigerian Drivers in the Face of Today’s Economy” held recently at STO Resource Centre, CBD, Alausa Ikeja.                                    
The Commissioner, who was represented by the Director, Transport Operation, Mr. Olasunkanmi Ojoowuro, explained that the incentives being awarded to recipients are in the recognition of their adherence to safety rules and regulations while on the job, noting that it is one thing to understand the safety rules and it is something entirely different to put that knowledge into action, hence, the need to embrace drivers’ award initiative.

He commended the awardees for the distinguished professional ethics they have displayed while on the job, adding that the gesture will send a strong positive message to others on the importance of maintaining a safe workplace and re-echo the value that the government places on a healthy and sane environment.
