Keimoes - The Northern Cape Hawks have arrested a Keimoes traffic officer for alleged corruption.
According to spokesperson, Philani Nkwalase, the special investigation unit acted on information and arrested the traffic officer for allegedly issuing a driver’s license without the necessary test driving.
It is said that a 35-year-old learner driver, allegedly came from Cape Town to receive his driver’s licence. His test was scheduled for 11am, but it never took place.
Yet the driver’s licence was later issued to him and the Hawks caught them during the exchange process on Thursday.
The learner driver, Tahir Ali, and traffic official, Erick Basson, were both arrested and briefly appeared before the Keimoes Magistrate’s Court on Friday. The case was postponed to May 9 and the traffic officer was given R2 000 bail, while the learner driver was given R5 000 bail.
