A volunteer traffic monitor from Mamelodi East will receive formal employment and compensation after helping students cross a dangerous intersection for two years without payment. Tshwane transportation official Tlangi Mogale announced on Monday that Tebogo will enter the city's BaStrata program following recognition from a social media video showing his daily work. The municipality plans to install pedestrian crossings at the location and provide support for his small business.
Mogale met with Tebogo on Monday morning alongside Ward 97 Councilor Nalenda Demhalu at the site where he assists children. The official said the appointment reflects broader efforts to incorporate informal safety volunteers across Tshwane into municipal programs with training and monthly stipends. Provincial road authorities will collaborate with local schools to improve infrastructure at the crossing point. The announcement has generated thousands of responses on social platforms praising community-led safety initiatives.
