ENTIRE TRAFFIC DEPT SUSPENDED

NORTHERN Cape provincial authorities have suspended the entire traffic department of Postmasburg until February 6. The decision was taken after a report by the Northern Cape Auditor-General found that R280000 had mysteriously disappeared from the department’s kitty. In addition, the small traffic department was unable to account for eight missing firearms. Provincial traffic officials have been shuttled in to replace their colleagues until the matter has been resolved.
