Police in Johannesburg and Pretoria cannot arrest motorists over unpaid traffic fines.
This is according to Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) spokesperson Xolani Fihla, who recently spoke on 947 about the increased roadblock presence on the province’s roads.
Fihla explained that the authorities have increased the number of roadblocks and traffic stops as part of a visible policing strategy to deter crime and curb illegal activities.
