WATCH: An Ethiopian national was arrested for allegedly drinking and driving in Port Shepstone, KwaZulu-Natal.
The RTI is also investigating how he obtained his South African drivers licence.
"That woman in the pic guys. Her name is Puleng. She works at the Vereeniging license department. She's helping people who pay tjotjo. I was there yesterday to do my PRDP.
I got there at 9. I was helped at 13:30.she was bringing people from outside and pushed them in front of the queue.
The other guy said to me that he gave her something to drink and she helped him quickly. So clearly if you don't have tjotjo you won't get help. Today I must go back because I was told the system is giving problems, simply because I didn't pay anything. But after I was told that I saw them continue working.
The Vereeniging License Department has a lot of corruption" from anonymous Vereeniging
If this appears on your TL kindly Repost until these criminals who robbed a ehailing driver of his phone and cash during a passenger pick up in Westbury Johannesburg are found & dealt with the Law. Someone out there knows these people.
@brettherron@Our_DA@CityofCT The same is is happening in a DA run ward in Newcastle, KZN. A residents forum group had to step in and challenge it. https://t.co/zJCXP6vuA4
