Magistrate, doctor and licensing officials in court foŕ fraud.
A magistrate, medical doctor and licensing officials are to appear in court in Mpumalanga today in relation to irregular and corrupt issuing of a driving licence.
The suspects - KwaZulu Natal magistrate Bonginkosi Mtshali (56), Dr Makhomba Nkambule (56), Mr ST Thwala (44) examiner, Mr BJ Mamba (56), Mr SM Mathebula (43) and Ms ZM Ndhlandhla (35) - will appear at the Eerstehoek regional court.
It is alleged that the suspects conspired to ensure that a driving licence was issued to Mr. Mtshali fraudulently and by flouting regulations.
The offence was committed in 2018 at Elukwatini licensing centre.
Five of the suspects, the medical doctor, three driving licence examiners and a data capture were arrested last week in a joint operation by the South African Police Services and the National Traffic Anti-Corruption Unit from the RTMC.
The magistrate was arrested in Empangeni a week before. All the suspects are on R2000 bail each.
The suspects are expected to face charges relating to conspiracy to commit fraud and defeating the ends of justice.
