Dear Editor<\/p>\n
Credit should be given where it\u2019s due. In this case I want to thank the personnel who work at the 24-hour roads emergency line (0800 644 644).<\/p>\n
My DA-colleague in the legislature, Veliswa Mvenya, phoned me at 05:15 last Sunday morning after she got lost on a dirt road in the dark while travelling from Port Elizabeth to East London.<\/p>\n
I phoned the emergency number and received excellent service from the gentleman on duty (unfortunately I didn\u2019t get his name).\u00a0 He immediately contacted Ms. Mvenya and directed her back to the main road and then even made a follow-up call back to me, to inform me that my colleague was safely on her way home.<\/p>\n
This excellent service \u2013 on a Sunday and at such an hour \u2013 must be acknowledged and applauded.\u00a0 Well done to the Department of Transport and the call centre.<\/p>\n
