The Johannesburg Metro Police Department has arrested 12 taxi drivers, as well as the driver of a private vehicle, during an operation in Fourways on 17 January.
The arrests were for reckless and negligent driving at the intersection of Witkoppen and Main roads in Paulshof during a police operation held in the morning.
Three of the taxis were also taken in for number plate investigation, because they were unlicensed, according to a statement by the spokesperson for the police department, Senior Superintendent Wayne Minnaar.
The 13 drivers have been detained at the Douglasdale Police Station and will likely appear in the magistrate’s court during the week of 20 January.
