News24 reports that a traffic official and a driving school owner have been arrested for corruption after they allegedly ensured that learners' licence candidates passed their tests – for a fee.
The traffic official, Sipho Malinga, and the driving school owner, Doctor Moloi, appeared in the Vrede Magistrate's Court in the Free State on Tuesday. Free State Hawks spokesperson Captain Christopher Singo said: "Malinga is a traffic official employed as an examiner at the Vrede Traffic Department testing station, while Moloi is a driving school owner. It is alleged that Moloi would scout for individuals who needed learners' licences and give their details to Malinga to ensure they pass their tests." The Hawks set up an operation in October and November to confirm that corruption was taking place and it was established that Moloi and Malinga were working together and sharing the proceeds. The accused were each released on R2,000 bail and their case was postponed to 24 July.
