Probe ordered into fake licence scam

Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele has ordered an investigation into a fake licence scam in Johannesburg. According to a report in a local newspaper, fake learners’ and drivers’ licences are being sold across Johannesburg for between R800 and R4 500. It is claimed that fake licences are available at four of the five City of Johannesburg testing centres. According to reports they were primarily organised by car guards and instructors from “fly by night” driving schools who work with centre examiners.
