Durban Metro Police Service Strike Team members conducted scholar transport enforcement on the R102, resulting in the suspension of two vehicles for serious safety violations.
A VW kombi was found transporting 29 school children, despite being licensed to carry only 10 passengers.
Upon inspection, the vehicle was suspended for:
• 3 tyres with missing wheel nuts
• Sliding door not opening from outside
• Engine oil leaks
• Exposed wiring
In a separate stop, a Toyota Avanza was also suspended for:
• Battery not clamped
• Front suspension tampered with
• Additional mechanical defects
The safety of our children is non-negotiable. The DMPS will continue with zero tolerance enforcement to ensure compliance.
