Limpopo learner’s licence examiner arrested for fraud and corruption
Learner’s licence applicants admit to paying R3 000 each to an examiner to obtain their licence.
A Limpopo examiner was arrested at the Lebowakgomo Licensing Centre for allegedly assisting four learner’s licence applicants to get their licences without writing the test.
Three of the four applicants are foreign nationals who cannot read, write or speak English.
“The examiner was caught red-handed assisting the applicants in the classroom during an exam.
“Upon further investigation and questioning, the applicants confessed to paying a fee of R3 000 each to the examiner,” the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) said in a statement today.
The examiner was arrested by the RTMC’s National Traffic Anti-Corruption Unit.
All suspects have been detained at the Lebowakgomo Police Station and are due to appear in court.
Investigations continue and more arrests are expected.
Members of the public are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspected acts of fraud and corruption to ntacu@rtmc.co.za or via WhatsApp at 083 293 7989. – SAnews.gov.za
