A passenger bus travelling from Zimbabwe to Gauteng was impounded after officers discovered that its roadworthiness certificate had expired on 19 April 2026.
The bus was transporting 21 passengers at the time of the inspection on Tuesday, 9 June 2026.
All passengers' travel documents were verified and found to be in order. The operator has been directed to provide alternative transportation for the passengers, as the vehicle was impounded.
