MEC Mamabolo ramps up road safety campaign with seven impoundment depots
Gauteng MEC for Public Transport and Roads Infrastructure, Jacob Mamabolo, has designated seven more places as depots for the purpose of impoundment of unroadworthy vehicles.
The MEC has also prescribed that the first impoundment fee be R3500, escalating by one thousand five rand for the second and subsequent impoundments.
"The increased capacity for impounding depots is part of strengthening our road safety campaign aimed at reducing road fatalities. The new depots will add to the Department’s capacity to impound vehicles that are found to be unroadworthy and taken off our roads," Mamabolo warned.
The additional designated depots are:

- Koedoespoort (Tshwane) - 1215 Michael Brink Str/ Nico Smith Avenue
- Heidelberg (Sedibeng) - No.1 Station Road, Heidelberg
MEC Mamabolo has further reiterated his call for road safety, urging motorists to change their behaviour and attitude on the road, especially during rainy conditions.
