Five provincial traffic officers have been arrested for alleged bribery in Tzaneen in Limpopo.
This as an operation dubbed “Code 14” to root out corruption in the traffic sector is continuing.
They apparently sold undercover Hawks member’s driver’s licences.
On Tuesday, three licensing officers and three members of the public were arrested at the Nkowankowa testing station in the same Tzaneen area.
The operation is being led by the Hawks and the RTMC’s anti-corruption unit.
“The provincial traffic officers who are in their full uniform were nabbed in their offices at Tzaneen. RTMC spokesperson Simon Zwane says they have planned to arrest about 12 traffic officers Wednesday. A total of eight traffic officials and three community members have been arrested yesterday. Meanwhile, two licensing testing officers from the Nkowankowa testing station are still on the run. The operation is continuing.”
