Thirty-nine traffic officials were arrested for fraud and corruption in Mpumalanga and Limpopo since last week. This is part of a massive cleanup operation to restore discipline and ethical conduct in the traffic law enforcement sector.
In Mpumalanga, 13 traffic officers were arrested today in various towns, including Nelspruit, Kabokweni, and Hazyview. This follows the arrest of 14 officials yesterday and a weighbridge master in Belfast. Meanwhile, in Limpopo, 11 traffic officers were arrested in Polokwane last week for allegedly taking bribes from bus operators, taxi drivers, and motorists on the N1 highway.
The joint operation was conducted by the Road Traffic Management Corporation's National Anti-Corruption Unit, the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, and Mpumalanga-based Crime Intelligence.
Some of the suspects have already appeared in magistrate courts and were granted bail ranging from R2,500 to R10,000. As part of their bail conditions, they must surrender their passports and cannot leave their hometowns without permission from the investigating officer.
