Two Port Elizabeth brothers who racked up traffic fines of more than R30 000 in their taxis have had their vehicles impounded.
Authorities also discovered that both their unroadworthy vehicles were sporting the same registration plates.

He says the vehicles were impounded, checed for roadworthiness and returned to the owners on condition that they fix all the problems.
