COPS MOONLIGHTING AS TAXI BOSSES WILL BE PROSECUTED
We received complaints and allegations that certain police officials are involved in the taxi industry and that they and their spouses/partners are operating taxis.
Police officials, as custodians responsible for the enforcement of the National Land Transport Act (NLTA), cannot be involved in the “taxi industry”.
Based on the provisions of section 13 of the NLTA, no police official, his or her spouse are allowed to own taxis. Police officers and their spouses therefore commit an offence should they own taxis or otherwise are involved in the public transport industry.
They also contravene the National Instruction 18 of 2019: Integrity Management in the South African Police Service. All police officials are well aware of this national instruction and are sensitised on a frequent basis of integrity management.
If any police official is found to be involved in a prohibited industry, such as the transport or security sector, a disciplinary investigation must be initiated for the purpose of remedial steps.
Where there are allegations, suspicions or complaints that police officers (or their spouse, partners and/or immediate family) are involved in the public transport industry and there is sufficient information available, line managers/commanders must immediately institute internal disciplinary processes and where applicable also register criminal case dockets.
