YOUR RISK.
A formal advisory was issued in 2024 warning operators about a surge in hijackings on the N4 near Rustenburg and Mafikeng. The R30 between Klerksdorp and Orkney is directly linked to Zama-zama armed crime - Orkney SAPS officially warned against night travel on this route. North West had the highest percentage increase in road fatalities of any province in Q1 2024, up nearly 49% year on year. Mining worker-transport fleets run around the clock, meaning vehicles accumulate mileage faster than most standard rating tables account for. Poor road conditions have been cited directly by operators - a vehicle off the road during a shift-change window can cost you a contract, not just a day's income.
- North West is the only province where carjacking increased in Q1 2025. Comprehensive cover with an approved tracking device is especially important here - the faster a hijacked vehicle is located, the better the chance of recovery before it is stripped or moved. Source: SAPS/TimesLive
- Orkney SAPS has officially warned against night travel on the R30 between Klerksdorp and Orkney due to Zama-zama armed robbery activity. A policy that covers armed robbery, vehicle damage, and loss of earnings protects you if a criminal incident takes your vehicle or puts you out of action.
- North West had the highest road fatality increase of any province in Q1 2024 - up 48.98% year on year. Poor roads directly increase accident risk. Comprehensive cover that includes accidental damage - not just third-party liability - protects operators from pothole damage, tyre failures, and single-vehicle accidents on degraded roads.
