Corruption Watch researchers in Durban:- Blatant bribes for driver’s licences
Posted on Leave a comment
Durban – A wink, a nod and a couple of thousand rands will buy a driver’s license – it’s no secret, even though it has a major impact when it comes to counting the loss of lives on South Africa’s roads.
The Independent on Saturday team went undercover to investigate what a Corruption Watch researcher said was standard practice to pay a bribe, and prospective drivers were almost guaranteed to fail if they could not or were unwilling to pay.
The team found blatant bribery at three KZN RTI (Road Traffic Inspectorate) centres.
Responding yesterday, “gravely concerned,” Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula said with President Cyril Ramaphosa’s undertaking to fight corruption at all levels, such illegal activity would “not be tolerated in any way, shape or form”.
He added that the RTMC national traffic Anti-corruption Unit was currently working with police and the SIU (Special Investigating Unit) to root out and clamp down on such practices.

Posted on Leave a comment
OSCAR Hlatshwayo, executive director of engineering and infrastructure services at the Alfred Duma (Emnambithi-Ladysmith) local municipality, was allegedly killed because he instructed a subordinate to terminate a company’s contract.
The company was apparently not producing what it was paid to do. The subordinate, Nomaswazi Shabalala, a director in infrastructure and technical services, is currently being held at Westville Prison for orchestrating Hlatshwayo’s murder and is applying for bail. Her three co-accused – Nqobile Ngcobo, Mondli Mabaso, and Mduduzi Njuza – are being held at Ladysmith Prison.
According to evidence led at the Ladysmith Magistrate’s Court by investigative officer Constable Muziwamadoda Kubheka, the murder was first plotted over a braai in Riverside.
Cellphone records show that it all began in late December, with Hlatshwayo murdered on February 7 this year.
Kubheka said eight people were implicated in the murder. Three, including Sh
