OCTOBER TRANSPORT MONTH CAMPAIGN NATIONAL TRAFFIC POLICE ARREST MINIBUS DRIVER FOR ATTEMPTED BRIBERY AND AIDING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION A R100 bribe could not buy freedom from the law! National Traffic Police(NTP) officers arrested a minibus driver during the Mantsole Minister’s Transport Month Operations on 30 October 2026 after he allegedly attempted to bribe an officer with R100. The driver was travelling from Limpopo to Gauteng with several passengers, including a Zimbabwean female national who could not produce any form of identification or immigration documentation. It is alleged that the driver offered the officer R100 to allow the undocumented passenger to proceed. The officer refused the bribe and arrested the driver for alleged bribery and aiding and abetting illegal immigration. Acting Director Aphane applauded the members for upholding the law and demonstrating integrity in the execution of their duties. He emphasised that the National Traffic Police will continue to honour the badge they wear by serving with honesty, discipline and professionalism. Not all officers are corrupt! There are dedicated men and women in uniform who remain committed to upholding the law, even when faced with attempts to compromise their integrity. Our badge represents integrity. Our duty is to serve and protect. Corruption has no place in the National Traffic Police. #OTMSA2026 #TransportZA

OCTOBER TRANSPORT MONTH CAMPAIGN 🚨 BRIBERY BACKFIRES AT BAPONG WEIGHBRIDGE! 🚨 A driver who allegedly attempted to bribe a National Traffic Police officer with R350 to escape enforcement action has been arrested during an October Transport Month operation at Bapong Weighbridge. The driver wanted to pay his way out of the law after being found operating an unroadworthy motor vehicle on a public road. However, the officer refused to compromise their integrity and upheld the law. Acting Director Aphane applauded the members for their professionalism, honesty and commitment to fighting corruption. Not all officers are corrupt! There are dedicated men and women in uniform who continue to serve with integrity and put public safety above personal gain. NO BRIBE IS WORTH COMPROMISING ROAD SAFETY. CORRUPTION HAS NO PLACE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT... #OTMSA2026 #TransportZA
