MORE than 23 vehicles were impounded for various offences in Brits near Madibeng on Wednesday.

MEC for community safety and transport management department, Dr Mpho Motlhabane said defaulting motorists will continue to be monitored across the province.

“Drivers were fined for various offences ranging from driving without driver’s license, PRDP, unroadworthy vehicles, driving with expired disc and using wrong routes with monetary valued at R61 300.

“We are going to consolidate a plan on how to intensify this approach. The plan will cover the road traffic management which has already set the tone by impounding vehicles that are not roadworthy. We will also include our intensified road safety education and crime prevention,” he said.

Motlhabane further added that the department’s plan will form part of Setsokotsane programme. He said the launch of the 10 point campaign plan by Premier Supra Mahumapelo will lead as a beacon of hope.

“This social mobilisation campaign plan is aligned to Setsokotsane, Reconciliation, Healing and Renewal to deal with societal issues affecting our people on a daily basis. The plan is further set to ensure that the maximum impact of government’s presence is created within the context of Setsokotsane,” Dr Motlhabane said.
