@newsnexussa: Mechanic arrested for allegedly impersonating RTI officer and driving state vehicle A mechanic has been arrested in Jozini, KwaZulu-Natal, after allegedly driving an RTI vehicle that had been booked into a workshop for repairs while under the influence of alcohol. The mechanic, who was intercepted with his girlfriend and three friends, faces charges including impersonating a traffic officer, abuse and malicious damage of state property, driving without the owner’s consent, drunk driving and driving without a licence. MEC for Transport and Human Settlements Siboniso Duma says the workshop was legally responsible for safeguarding the state vehicle but failed to do so. The suspect is expected to appear in the Obonjeni Magistrates’ Court. 31 Aug 2026 #incaseyoumissedit #newsstories #southafricatiktok #newsnexussa
