The City of Johannesburg is losing millions in revenue because speed cameras haven't been working for more than a year.

eNCA speaks to Xolani Fihla who is the spokesperson for the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department. CourtesyAll speed prosecutions in the city have been halted since 31 May 2021.

The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department says the tender to repair or supply speed cameras in the city closed earlier this month, and they're hoping to have the issue resolved by the end of June.

It’s a free city…🤷🏿‍♂️ y’all were complaining about Apartheid police always being around n visible. Leave Joburg alone & let crime flourish in the world class city of crime👊🏿

And everything has been going so well. Maybe we don't need them

Hahahahahaha amongst other things. And today is the best it will ever be. Happy Friday all. Amandla Freedom Viva.

Hope the speeding guys don't see this🙏

Because they steal the insides and sell them

What is it thats working in Jozi?

Mmmm, are you sure E ska ba ke trap di dang

No working traffic cops either.

And who is the mampara minister in charge?

..and the ones in KZN work too well!!!

No wonder I have not been getting tickets 🎫…….the only good thing about apartheid was that everything in that city use to work and was maintained

It's a 'trap'! for the traps

good news

This makes sense🫣

They are not properly maintained and therefore unreliable and not admissable in court.

Lekker 🤌

It's bait guys don't believe them 😳

They are trying to sucker us into being Lewis Hamiltons.

Traffic fines should be a bonus and not form part of the budget process.

I want to see how this is going to be resolved.

All going so well Cyril! The cadres running things doing a really fantastic job! CyrilRamaphosa

What was the lost revenue? Unbelievable that this is how some local authorities are being run into the ground.

I offer repairs. Fair rate of R1 million (is this corruptly enough) per camera (R500 000 kick back for my 'cadre') and guarantee a turn around time of 20 years... where do i send my CV/Quote. PS.. never worked on them my life which makes me very qualified for ANC..

Thanks for the plug. 🙏

Wish the same was true for kappa . Can’t drive in peace

Not news

That's not a bad thing

elonmusk please but the traffic department

Lucky😭😭😭

We’re happy with that please

But I got speed trap fine 😒.

Nothing in Durban for about 3 years.

But we not complaining🤷🏿‍♀️

mphophalatse1 Ma'm we are expecting the change you promised us. Our_DA.

So the notification of speeding we getting are fake? 🤔

Yes .The Secret is out..Speed Cameras contain at least 20kg of Copper...🙄

This is not true... because R21🧐

Lol we have been reducing our speed for next?😭😂

Without this information, I am sure drivers obeyed speed limits not knowing, blurting out this information is very irresponsible and stupid. They tell us speed kills but are worried about losing revenue...

So vele I can 290km/h my Vrrpha?

am coming there with my BMW and test your theory.

Really not sure what the problem is

Blame Ramaphosa

I’ve been maintaining speed for dololo 😒

Also tell us about Ekurhuleni

Hehehe you fucker!!😂😂 Soulscene_SA

After all the depressing news in South Africa some good news is welcome.. Keep it up Johannesburg 👏

Tx

Thank you. I have been slowing down at those places known to have cameras, for nothing 😒

kaylenciaga I noticed that hey

FakeNews

kaylenciaga That’s very good news, gone the cameras never work again

MbalulaFikile Minister what you saying to us who been receiving fines if since from 2021 Jo’burg cameras been offline.

Neither in durban,I love the new affirmative action staff,they really manage departments well

Enca can you assist us, how does one get to the calibration certificates on mounted cameras, we get tickets from these mounted cameras but no calibration certificates, what about if the camera is malfunctioning, please assist enca, we are tired of being robbed by jmpd

AIC100 'But in the meantime, the city has lost millions in revenue and will continue to do so.' I have a issue with that sentence speeding fines is meant to be a tool to uphold the By-Law and not a 'Business Tool' to turn out profits.

Thank you. Now from 160 km/h, I will be driving around 180km/h

I realized that a long time ago,that's I'm louis helminton on the road

They can borrow from ThembisileHani local municipality... Problem solve

MrGrunt101 likes this👍🏽

And you are only telling us now!

We should be more actively pushing for visible policing and less corruption and such

M1 between woodmead and Marlboro since last year no more speed camera

You only tell us this NOW? After a year?

Repercussions of ZumaMustFall 🤣 JoburgMPD are gatekeepers of failing infrastructure so that they capitalise on Driver confusion Corruption will be the end of a black ANC GovernmentZA, as predicted by Ntate Oliver Reginald Tambo Long live the spirit of OR Tambo long live

How many of them were even legal?

Syntell the Service Provider for Camera system for City of Johannesburg withdrew their contract last year around September/October due to City of Johannesburg not having funds to pay the Company.. So you can have tickets from January to October 2021.. Hope this helps

HermaineM Issa trap🤣🤣🤣

So the one flashing at Ontdekkers, must I take it out?

Iiv those cameras pls.

HermaineM Pls leave these good people alone, citizens are not complaining about this

That 1 had nothing to do with u

Great news!

Fake news, I have tickets to prove otherwise

Explains why government lowered speeds limits. It has nothing to do with safety only revenuegeneration for corrupt officials. Penalties from infringements are not supposed to be standard income.ut will also result in less cooldrink money MbalulaFikile

Shup up! We don’t want them!

Umntu udrive ngo 60 mahala kanti is a free country 🤦🏽‍♂️

Now I know 😎🤪

Thanks for advertising this for law breakers.

You should have reported this earlier

Lies damn lied, I received a speeding fine for incident that occurred on the 4th Oct 2021 from Ekurhuleni Metro. Camera was placed on the N3 South

Explains why I don't have tickets. I used to fly 🪰 on the N12 and R21

Tshego_Tlapu 😂

HermaineM no wonder I haven't received anything since from last year.

Under Cyril nothing is functioning in country

No ways, really 🫣

This is a trap.

Yeah apparently the city cancelled their contract with the camera service providers. And are looking for a new service provider.

This is good news moss👌🏾

That's not true, Tuesday 26/04/2022 I was at EMPD paying speed fine, so stop lying to us

First the licenses now this. Is there something working in this country

Kant uFikile Mbalula ubusy kutwirrah nje akasebenzi?

So it's just Open Sesame? heh Enca, you're telling us this information for what exactly.

I have a car I need to test it’s performance…CityofJoburgZA , JoburgMPD , I’ll be on the road one day before you finalise your tender. 🕺🏿💃🏿

And you only tell us now?

It can't be, there's these speed camera near st Andrew's off-ramp that they put almost everyday even on the M1 near IBO, yal lie too much now

What is the problem here we don’t want speeding cameras in the first place

Should have told us earlier

Ramasepa wa senya

Lies,I have tickets from speed cameras

Thank you. This information is vital

Asbonge!!!!!

ANC needs to go along curses of Deuteronomy in the Bible it fits the requirements

I don't believe you

Now it all makes sense

My late sister in law who died 2019 told me then they were not working and cameras it was her thing at JMPD

This tweet is a trap… 😂😂😂

Shit, you didn’t say

Only thing that works well is corruption and crime..

The wheels on the bus.....have fallen off.....

Lovely

The portable speed cameras work.

Why did you guys report this 😑

😂😂😂😂

No working JMPD since way before that

Insurance companies on the comment section

K_CyberSecWrld Hold on... Then why does my brother have speeding tickets?

that's an amazing story. have the cops that man those cameras had life style audits? cause i know plenty people that have paid 'fines' in cash onsite.

sushifired You're useless kwedini. Into oyaziyo kukuthetha too much ingathi ungumfazi. MbalulaFikile

We didn't know, now we do. This wasn't supposed to be made public

Such good news, what were you waiting for? 🙈

Yeah it's nice to see metro come out in number, to make road safety

Lol

Can this also apply in our province. We don't need cameras however we need police visibility

How incompetent this government is.😡😠

Write property articles, not blurbs

No working postal service either to post fines

Lol

Nothing is working under Ramaphosa

Njani I got a fine in February

Khxthatso Bonisile_RMS Mbongeni_DaGent 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 we’ve been obeying

There used to be speed cameras M1 just before Marlboro off ramp.... That actually makes sense

Why only saying today😢😢😢😢

It's funny how this is considered news when all the testing centers don't have working eye-test machines ever

All the cameras ke tsao chosetsa

No driver needs that

ThabangMogoboy5 City_Ekurhuleni yours at Hennie Alberts in Meyersdal are also not working.

edgewine pindaimo muchibhururuka henyu

Maybe is due to the road conditions... 🤔

They replaced speed cameras with potholes

Those on the know have beeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnn knowing this

Yeay ì thought Post Office staff are on unending strike

We know that is why we do 180+

Comrades have been doing well without a doubt

Oh that's why 🤣🤣

To think I used to slow down near cameras 😒

Whyyyyy would you publicly disclose this?

Lies, must be a revenue drive.

The government of the people

That's good. At least they have nowhere to hide now. They must do real visible policing now

I have a Feeling JMPD paid eNCA for this 'AD', to raise funds 😂😂..

This country is a joke

We can keep it that way

Been asking myself were are them fines im always flying never got 1 even disputed 1 fine the wanted to give me i just said show me evidence that I was speeding According to me I was within the limit 😂😂😂 Knowing deep down was flying He just said go go

KK_beatz1

Oooh thank God. That's why I managed 220km in N17 without trace. May they be disfunctional for long please!

I am sure there's no road user sympathetic with them on this one 😆 😂

You have been the best, i always known thanks my to my friend so much for introducing me to you. Now I'm dept free julianna_wallet And it pays off. At first I invested R10,000 in few days I got a return of R103,000

😂😂😂 woooow

😂 😂 😂 Lies

NeilZ4EVA1234U sound like a 'trap' don't speed humans bottom line

Autobahn expansion pack? I like it, Picasso.

I find it hard to believe cause am sitting with two, or should I just ignore them?🤔🙆‍♂️🤔

Thank you so been braking for cameras that dont work Schumacher here i come

MbalulaFikile they're going to be fixed in Germany too?

I knew something was up

Matching staff!!

EMPD must follow as well....I'm always getting caught

Maintenance problem...

And Pta?

As’bonge 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lies...I got two speed fines last year from the M2

Even Those At N1 From Kranskop To PLK....

Thank God

And the tickets? Are thumb sucked?

Also in the City of Tshwane, I always fly pass their speed cameras but no single fine since 2018

That's very good we are enjoying this.

PaleighMM The city lost revenue. It’s not about road safety. It’s actually not been carnage in the city’s roads since. Do we need these speed cameras for road safety or for generating revenue?

I've noticed that taxis no longer slow down now. Shucks I wasted time slowing down

Manje wena uphaphelani? 😱😳

I suspect KZN is the same. Government infrastructure is crumbling.

This is a lie, I got a speeding ticket in January this year

ANC at its finest 🤣

Job well done keep it up😊

And you only tell us now😬

There's the issue... framing cameras as a source of revenue. What they should be is a means of getting drivers to slow down in dangerous places, to increase road safety.

So why did a recently get a speed fine?

I see that as a win

Asibonge

Nothing is working in this province. I'm still shocked that there are no streetlights and side pavements CityTshwane GautengProvince

I wish this was in CPT, yhooo!

Viva Anc viva incompetency viva corruption viva useless tendepreneus viva lawlessness viva these are the chants that that fihla boy should be making to their leaders. Most of the people who work for government are just conduit to mismanagement and inficiency that the public get

Clearly, the way people are driving in Johannesburg!🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️

Awesome

Good riddance

I'm OK with the lost shouldn't be the primary objective of these cameras anyway. A ticket in the mail weeks later does not prevent any accidents . Make speed cameras visible like in the UK.

Where is that unless minister of transport? Udle imali Yama Speed cameras now

David_S_Tembe I’m going to need you to say something Action4SA you’ve been there for 6 months now

That’s good news.

Now you tell me!!! Waisted opportunity

Some useless Carder Will use this as an opportunity to loot and it will cost min 20mil each 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s a feeding frenzy for these thieving no IQ Cardes every chance…..

They are all sent to Germany

Eish!

Lol I've realized that camera along Greyston drive by the robot is no longer working we're cruising nice.

🌚🌚🌚7769d51d7a3345f

It would be a wonder if they were working.

It's a trap

Eh😀

And we are happy 😊 I'm fine with those things not working because they cause a lot traffic

And here I thought it's the post office not delivering the speeding fines .... like that one on Republic between Nicol and Smuts

Haibo, kanti where are the tickets coming from now?

no wonder folks are clocking 200kms

And why are you telling people this

New Dawn

We don’t want speeding cameras; we want cctv cameras for crime prevention! Government, please pay attention to real issues troubling South Africa. Why invest in speeding cameras?

I wonder why Fikile isn't into this🤔🤔🤔

The must fix them asap, we tired of speeding and accidents on the road

What went wrong, let JMPD explain to us frankly ‼️✨💫🌟🇿🇦

one likes speedcameras but we all know they change behavior, and possibly save lives. The highways are probably used as race tracks .

Nothing works under black ANC government

And they only tell us now?

Good job !

The insides have probably been stolen and sold by the cops

😂😂😂

They are dummies? If we had known!

Tee_Tee__ It’s a trap
