"""CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA - Wednesday 17 July 2013, as part of Mandela Day learners from Sivile Primary School in Khayelitsha, an impoverished suburb of Cape Town, did a pedestrian walk to highlight the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital's Childsafe campaign. Every year, approximately 1.3 million people are killed on the world's roads. Road crashes are the number one cause of death for children and young people. Worldwide, road deaths are overtaking the number of deaths from TB and malaria, and it has been projected that within 20 years, more people will die on the roads than of HIV/AIDS. As part of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 and in support of the Mandela's family initiative titled """"Long Short Walk"""", Childsafe South Africa has organized a walk Sivile Primary School . As this years' main theme (Global Road Safety Week in May) was focused on pedestrian safety the main aim was to raise awareness on issues pertaining to pedestrian safety. Therefore, Childsafe South Africa's three main objectives need to achieve the main aim, through the Long Short Walk are:<br /> To raise road safety awareness for all pedestrians.<br /> To encourage individuals and groups to participate in walks using safety materials and banners.<br /> To contribute to the Sustainable Development Goal on safe walking for all.<br /> Photo by Roger Sedres/ImageSA.net"""
