# The Western Cape Mobility Department recently hosted an event to honour the incredible women who are the backbone of the freight industry. This is part of the Freight Focus Month campaign, celebrating both female freight truck drivers and the wives and partners of drivers who make the industry a success. Mobility MEC Isaac Sileku says freight is one of the most essential components of the provincial and national economies, yet those who drive this sector are often underappreciated:
