YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE IS ABOUT TO BECOME A CASH COW FOR SHADY PRIVATE CONTRACTORS. In a SHOCKING exposé, the Road Traffic Infringement Agency (RTIA) has been caught RUSHING through a multi-million rand tender to HAND OVER the nation’s traffic fine system to a private, profit-hungry corporation. This isn’t about safety—it’s a LEGALIZED SHAKEDOWN.
OUTA has blown the whistle on this DECEPTIVE scheme, revealing the tender was SNUCK through over the quiet December period—a classic move to AVOID scrutiny. The goal? To OUTSOURCE the heart of traffic enforcement, creating a system where a CORPORATION’S BOTTOM LINE is directly tied to how many fines YOU receive. Imagine a world where the entity processing your ticket PROFITS from your misfortune. This is the DISTURBING reality being built RIGHT NOW.
The implications are TERRIFYING. “Traffic enforcement is not meant to operate as a profit-driven exercise,” warns OUTA CEO Wayne Duvenage. He’s right. This scheme installs “PERVERSE INCENTIVES” at the core of the law, where fairness is sacrificed for shareholder dividends. The government already HAS the system to do this job, meaning taxpayers will be FORCED to pay EXTRA for a privatized nightmare that erodes public trust to its core.
With the controversial AARTO demerit system looming—where you could lose your license over bureaucratic errors—handing control to an unaccountable private player is a recipe for DISASTER. This isn’t just bad policy; it’s a CALLOUS BETRAYAL of every motorist in the country. The state is literally building a for-profit prison for your right to drive, and you’re about to be locked inside.
