As part of the nationwide law enforcement Campaign, the C-BRTA law enforcement officers, in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies continue to intensify compliance and enforcement operations to ensure the safety of all road users.
During an operation, four vehicles travelling from Durban en route to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) were intercepted for contravening abnormal load regulations.
Three trucks were found exceeding the maximum permissible load height of 4.650m:
•? ?One truck recorded a load height of 5.2m
•? ?Two trucks recorded load heights of 5.0m each
One truck was also found to be in violation of abnormal load length regulations, measuring 24.50m and exceeding the permissible maximum length of 22.850m.
In a separate incident, a passenger bus travelling from Zimbabwe to Johannesburg 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. 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.
Road safety is everyone's responsibility. Authorities remain committed to ensuring compliance with road traffic regulations and taking decisive action against operators who place lives at risk through non-compliance.
