Durban - The eThekwini Municipality has been slated for not conducting any speed enforcements on its roads since July 2017.
"This tender, finalised in February 2017, was structured in such a way so that the service provider would be paid what effectively amounts to a commission on each fine paid to the municipality. The DDPP has stated that a fixed monthly cost for all services rendered regardless of charges paid would be a more suitable method,"Ryley said.
“Once the compliance matter has been dealt with, we will continue using the speed-measuring equipment on city roads.” In the interim, our metro police unit has deployed 450 officers to ensure that motorists adhere to the law. Regular roadblocks are also ongoing. Motorists are urged to comply with the speed limit. Non-compliance can be reported to 031 361 0000.” read a statement on the issue.
He said the DA has been driving this issue constantly in the Security and Emergency Services Committee. "We are therefore calling for those in a position to rectify this to stop dithering and make this matter a priority before more lives are lost on our roads due to excessive speeding. This cannot be delayed any longer,"he concluded.
