She also said the traffic division in the municipality needs to be equipped and resourced so that it also plays a role in revenue collection.
“The municipality has recently appointed four traffic officials, and this brings the total number of traffic officers in the municipality to thirteen,” she said.
During recent festive seasons, a few motorists were arrested for excessive speeding, and hundreds of fines were issued within the Modimolle-Mookgophong Municipality jurisdiction.
Mayor Mboweni was accompanied by Speaker Sinah Langa, Chiefwhip Mokgadi Dayimani, as well as other Councillors and Municipal officials.
