The assistant minister of transport, Keoagile Atamelang, announced proposed Road Traffic Act amendments at a consultative meeting in Kgomokasitwa, describing existing provisions as targeting drunk drivers while leaving drug impairment largely unaddressed. That is the announcement's characterisation, not an accurate statement that drug driving was lawful: published section 46(2) already prohibits driving while unfit through drugs, with penalties under section 46(4). No commencement date or enacted replacement was established by this report.[1][2]
