They allegedly solicited bribes from offending motorists.
Limpopo police’s Head of Crime Detection Unit, Major General Samuel Manala, says 11 arrested traffic officers for allegedly asking for bribes will face several charges when they appear in court.
Eleven officers were arrested on duty on the N1 and at the Transport Department head offices in Polokwane.Authorities hope the arrests will deter others from committing similar crimes.“It’s where they are extorting money from the people if you are being arrested for violating a traffic rule. Instead of taking action against you, then they extort your money.
