The Witness reports that the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) has welcomed the conviction of a KwaZulu-Natal driving licence examiner, as well as a driving school instructor, in a case that exposed serious breaches in the integrity of the licence issuing system.
On Tuesday, the Durban Specialised Commercial Crime Court found Sandile Ndlovu, an examiner based in Mooi River, guilty of fraud and conspiracy to commit corruption. He was found to have fraudulently issued a learner’s licence to an individual who had not written the required examination. Ndlovu was arrested in 2016 following a complaint submitted to the RTMC’s National Traffic Anti-Corruption Unit. Investigators found that Ndlovu had conspired with Zandile Dlamini, a driving school instructor, to issue the learner’s licence in exchange for a R3,000 bribe. Dlamini was also convicted for facilitating the illegal transaction and accepting an unlawful benefit. The matter was postponed to 29 August to allow for the preparation of pre-sentence reports. The State is expected to call additional witnesses during sentencing to outline the broader impact of the misconduct on road safety and public service.
