‘Langlaagte Testing Station is problematic’
Transport Minister Dipuo Peters' surprise visit to Langlaagte Testing Station.
A surprise visit to the Langlaagte Testing Station from Transport Minister Dipuo Peters, accompanied by Gauteng Roads and Transport MEC Ismail Vadi has put a spotlight on the corruption at the station.
Peters wanted to see that the services are corruption free and done by the book.
“In a bid to win the fight against road carnage and corruption on the roads, it was important to go to all licensing and testing centres that have been identified as problematic across the country,” says Peters.
Peters and Vadi both agreed that ‘tighter’ regulations for driving instructors as it’s been alleged is the link to the corruption experienced at the testing stations.
Peters says the Langlaagte centre was one of the most problematic, which needed to be dealt with as it serviced Johannesburg, the country’s economic hub where vehicles were being brought in large volumes.
