The Hawks in the Western Cape has nabbed two vehicle examiners for corruption.
PICTURE: CollingwoodDeon Andrew Johnson and Michael Williams are accused of
accepting money in exchange for the certification of roadworthy motor vehicles
at Goodwood and We Do Roadworthy testing stations, respectively.
‘’It is alleged that the suspects were employed by two
vehicle testing stations, manipulated and abused the systems by unlawfully
issuing roadworthy certificates to
vehicles that were never presented for testing
and were thus certified to drive on public roads. It is reported that
the offence was committed between 2018 and 2019,’’ said Warrant Officer Zinzi
Hani, Hawks Western cape spokesperson.
The accused appeared last Thursday in the Vredendal
Magistrates Court and both were released on R3 000 bail each. The case has been
postponed to 1 November 2024 for finalization of the charge sheet.
