The Northern Cape department of Transport, Safety and Liaison says, the 2023 women in transport awards are cancelled. The ceremony was scheduled to take place at the end of this month as part of transport month commemorations. Spokesperson of the department Rennie Andrias says, the awards ceremony was cancelled due to cost containment measures. The department says these awards are held to recognize the need for women to advance and be empowered in
the transportation sector, which is dominated by men. The department did not give an indication when the awards will be scheduled again.
