License examiner held for bribing anti-corruption investigators

A 59-year-old license examiner at the Temba driving license testing centre in Hammanskraal has been arrested after allegedly bribing anti-corruption investigators.

The official was under investigation by the Road Traffic Management Corporation’s national traffic anti-corruption unit and the Hawks – following allegations that he was involved in corrupt practices involving the fraudulent issuing of driving licences at the centre.

“It is alleged that the official offered a R50 000 bribe to investigators to sweep the investigation under the carpet. An entrapment order was obtained, and the investigators proposed that the official should meet them at a nearby shopping mall.

“The official allegedly approached the investigators carrying a white bag. He allegedly placed the bag inside the vehicle the investigators were travelling in declaring that it was R50 000 divided into two stacks,” the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) said on Friday.

He was immediately arrested and detained at Temba police station. 

The man is expected to appear in court on Monday for bail application. – SAnews.gov.za
