Gauteng Traffic Police in operation
The Gauteng government has raised serious concerns about motorists speeding and failing to wear seatbelts, children sitting on their parents’ laps, vlogging, and drink-driving on the province’s roads.
This comes as the Premier’s Office, Gauteng Transport and Law Enforcement agencies conducted stop-and-search operations at the De Hoek Toll Plaza Tuesday afternoon.
Since Monday, eight motorists have been arrested for speeding, with the highest recorded speed at 200 kilometers per hour.

Provincial Government Spokesperson, Elijah Mhlanga says lawlessness on the roads will not be tolerated.
“They don’t need to speed. Plan your trip properly, but also seatbelts. This are basic things that we need to remind people of in the other roadblocks that we’ve done, we have picked up that people are just driving with no seatbelts on.
“There are children who are sitting on the laps of their parents and some are drinking. Last night we arrested eight people for speeding. The highest was at 200 kilometers per hour. Completely unacceptable. The other one was 196Km/h, the other one was 198 Km/h. So you can see that there’s a lot of speeding on our roads and we are sending a message that we are not going to tolerate that,” Mhlanga explains.
