- W59620764 abstract "Minister Omar in 2003 indicated that: “traffic enforcement is a main concern of traffic management due to a lack of and breakdown in discipline on South Africa roads.” This statement was supported in the Road to Safety Strategy 2001-2005, where law enforcement featured in two of the four thematic areas. In the future, one can expect more volumes of vehicles and pedestrians, more elderly drivers, a new generation of young drivers and more problems, frustrations and antisocial behaviour on South African roads. Traffic law enforcers are trained to enforce traffic law and legislation, as well as, to educate the public in terms of road safety. Due to a number of reasons, traffic (and other law enforcement agents) are not always viewed in a favourable light. Traffic law enforcement officials are victims of verbal and physical abuse, traumatised by scenes of violence on the road, understaffed with little resources to do their work. An additional approach to traditional traffic law enforcement training should be considered. According to the White Paper on Transport Policy 1996, “enhancement of road user knowledge, skills and attitudes” is seen as a functional area of road traffic management” and enhancement of these qualities can only be improved if the “educators” understand their “learners”. Law enforcement has in the last few years moved away from reactive to proactive activities. Despite the move to more proactive policing and deliberate efforts to enhance the public image of law enforcement officials, law enforcement is still seen as a paramilitary organisation, believed to operate with rigid control and command structures, offering little flexibility for change. Although this discipline is essential in addressing the lawlessness on the road, traffic law enforcement is still essentially a “people’s business”. People with all their flaws are what the law enforcement profession have to deal with and it is therefore critical that law enforcement officials should have the skills to deal fairly, effectively and objectively with road users in a changing South Africa. Although soft skills might form a small part of the traffic law enforcement curriculum, traffic law enforcement training should consider the value that subjects dedicated to understanding the self, emotions and behaviour could add to the law enforcement profession. It is therefore of paramount importance that law enforcement officials are encouraged to engage in personal and skill development activities that would address and enhance inter-and intra personal skills, stress management, the ability to cope with cultural, organisational and social change, as well as, to be able to live a balanced, happy life despite the taxing demands of their work." @default.
