Three former Kouga Municipality traffic officers were granted bail in the Humansdorp magistrate’s court on Thursday after being charged with fraud and corruption.
Fifty-five-year-old John Natal, Enrico Biko (49), and Melisizwe Nkomo (49), also face a charge of contravening the National Road Traffic Act 93 of 1996.
Eastern Cape police spokesperson, warrant-officer Majola Nkholi, said the three were granted bail of R500 bail each.
The state alleges that the three examiners who were based in Humansdorp had been issuing driving licences to motorists without conducting physical examinations (tests), as prescribed in the traffic act.
Nkohli said the case against the trio was postponed to 11 April for a regional court date.
