News24 reports that in a blitz to clean up fraud and corruption at Ekurhuleni licensing departments, four more officials were arrested in Germiston on Friday, bringing the arrest tally to 13 in the last two weeks.
Road Traffic Management Corporation (RMTC) announced on Friday that the four Ekurhuleni Metro officials, including a supervisor, were arrested at the Germiston licensing station in Wadeville. On Thursday, five officials were arrested at the Alberton and Bedfordview licensing offices, while four others were arrested at the Benoni licensing department last week. All the arrested officials allegedly colluded with motorists to clear outstanding vehicle licence fees and penalties by registering vehicles in the names of deceased people or unsuspecting individuals, before re-registering the same vehicles in the names of the original owners. All officials arrested last week were due to appear in the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Monday. More suspects are expected to be arrested.
