The City Traffic Services has clamped down on unroadworthy taxis, following two days of special public transport roadblocks which were held in Halt Road, Elsies River and on Lansdowne Road, Claremont where two taxis were confiscated.
One had passed a roadworthy test at a private testing centre in Johannesburg a month ago, and the other on 5 February at the Universal Roadworthy Station in Hanover Park.
“Both were found to be mechanically unsound with numerous defects including double ignition systems, body panels welded together, canvas exposed on the tyres, speedometer and lights not working and the passenger door being held together with a piece of rope,” said Traffic Service’s Merle Lourens.
“At these roadblocks, 27 people were arrested on 130 warrants of arrest to the value of R154 650,” said Lourens
