Foreign cars, illegal on our roads, are meant for other African countries, but many are siphoned off and sold to South Africans with the lie that they could be made legal.“Our fiscus loses about 40% of the value of a new vehicle sale each time an illegal vehicle remains in the country.
“Either they work here or they have a relative in South Africa. When they come into the country, they are supposed to have a temporary permit for importation of those vehicles,” said Moeng.“They try to register them here, but they can never be legally registered. If it happens that these cars get registered, that means there are corrupt people in the traffic department. When we identify these vehicles we destroy them. We do not sell them on auction.
When contacted early in our investigation, Road Traffic Management Corporation spokesperson Simon Zwane said they were aware of the matter and had been investigating it for more than a year. “We have engaged the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications, Sars and Itac to automate the process of introducing vehicles on to NaTIS which will nullify the need to investigate illegally introduced vehicles.”
Retail Motor Industry chief executive Jakkie Olivier, said it was a complicated issue, but the banning of imported vehicles was meant to protect local manufacturers.
