Twenty-two motorists are set to appear in court in the new year on charges of bribery and corruption.
The 22 were arrested by members of the National Traffic Police for alleged bribery across various parts of Limpopo, said the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) in a statement.
“The motorists allegedly attempted to induce traffic officers to ignore violations of traffic rules by offering them money. Many of the motorists were caught driving without driving licences. They produced money to avoid arrest for their transgressions,” said the RTMC on Sunday.
The motorists are scheduled to appear in court next year on charges of bribery and corruption.
“The National Traffic Police have been deployed in Limpopo and other provinces to bolster efforts to enforce the law and reduce factors that contribute to road crashes and fatalities.”
Members of the public are urged to report acts of bribery and corruption to the Road Traffic Management Corporation by sending a WhatsApp on 083 2937989 or by calling (012) 999 5407. -SAnews.gov.za
