New vehicles have detective powers

Mpumalanga MEC for Community Safety, Security and Liaison Vusi Shongwe recently launched four automatic number plate recognition vehicles dubbed “Nyamsoro”.

Nyamsoro is a well-known Tsonga traditional healer who has powers to prophesy and who tells people their problems and illnesses without them having told him.

Shongwe said, just like Nyamsoro, the vehicles will be used to detect those that do not pay their traffic fines. He has also urged motorists with outstanding fines to settle them within three months.

The vehicles are equipped with devices that are able to pick up if the driver of a vehicle has outstanding fines or a warrant of arrest by scanning their driver’s licence or identity number.

The facilities in the vehicle are also able to generate and print warrants of arrest to motorists with outstanding fines

Motorists will also be able to use electronic payment systems fitted in the vehicles to settle their fines.

One of the vehicles will be despatched to the Gert Sibande District to deal with outstanding fines and assist in reducing negligent driving.
