ANA reports that two vehicle examiners were scheduled to appear in the Athlone Magistrate's Court on Tuesday to face charges of fraud and corruption.
Police spokesman Captain Philani Nkwalase said the Hawks' Serious Corruption Investigation team and the departments of transport and public works worked together to arrest the men, implicated in processing fraudulent roadworthy certificates. The two, aged 29 and 30, were arrested on Monday at Universal Roadworthy Station in Philippi. The alleged fraud and corruption was discovered in May 2019 when a truck was checked during a routine traffic patrol. It failed the inspection, despite having passed the roadworthy test just an hour before. Police uncovered another eight vehicles that had similarly passed the test, despite not meeting the requirements. More arrests are expected.
