 S.A: Makhado Traffic Cop Duo Granted Bail in Taxi Permit Fraud Case


A traffic officer and a former chief traffic officer from Makhado Municipality have been granted bail after they were arrested for allegedly scamming taxi operators out of more than R100,000 by selling fake operating permits.


The two men, Jan Zitha (65) from Bungeni and Gushile William Mathonsi (55) from Waterval, were arrested on Friday, 18 July 2025. They appeared in the Louis Trichardt Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 21 July 2025.


According to the Hawks, the accused approached taxi operators between 2016 and 2018 and promised to get them legal taxi permits in exchange for payment. The taxi operators paid a total of R108,610 but never received the permits. After trying to get their money back without success, they reported the matter to the authorities.


The Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation Unit traced and arrested the suspects in Waterval and Bungeni. Both were granted bail of R6,000 each.


They face 25 charges, including fraud, corruption, and contravention of the National Road Traffic Act. The case has been postponed to 3 September 2025 for further investigation.
