Fire destroys impounded vehicles at NW traffic department

Spokesperson for the municipality Thapelo Matebesi said the fire broke out just after 6pm last night.

“According to eyewitnesses, the fire started in an open field next to the traffic department, so it could have been started by anything, even a lit cigarette thrown on the grass,” he said. Matebesi said all the vehicles that were burnt had been forfeited to the municipality as their owners failed to collect them within the stipulated time frame of six months.

“All these vehicles were due to go on auction soon because they have been impounded for a long time and the owners failed to collect them, despite many notices the municipality sent to them,” he said.

In such cases will the department pay for the damages of those vehicles....? 🤔
