A traffic official in Cape Town has been released on bail on corruption charges.
Renay Claudine Ruiters (47) briefly appeared at the Cape

driving under the influence of liquor during September 2023.
‘’The matter was brought to the attention of the Hawks for
probing and the arrest was effected. Ruiters is out on R1 000 bail… The matter
is postponed to 05 April 2024 for further investigation,’’ said Lieutenant
Colonel Siyabulela Vukubi

law enforcement officials are mandated to uphold and enforce the law and hopefully
will send a strong message to other law breakers,’’ said Vukubi.
