Two women appear in court for corruption related to learner’s licence issuance in Modimolle
POLOKWANE – Two female suspects, Mmakoma Theresa Mokgobanama aged 37 (an examiner) and Fancinah Kgakatsi aged 49 (a driving school owner), appeared before the Modimolle Magistrate’s Court on Friday, 10 October 2025, following their arrest for corruption related to the illegal issuing of learner’s licences.
Their case was postponed until 14 October 2025 for bail application and further police investigation.
The duo were arrested during a joint operation conducted by members of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Investigation Unit (ACIU) and Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC)-ACIU on Thursday, 09 October 2025.
The arrests followed a complaint received on Wednesday, 08 October 2025, alleging that the two suspects were demanding between R2 500.00 and R3 000.00 from applicants in exchange for learner’s licences without the applicants being tested.
A police operation was subsequently conducted in Modimolle, during which a complainant deposited a fee amount into the driving school owner’s account. The money was allegedly intended to secure a learner’s licence for a male individual known to the police, who arrived late for his examination and did not write the test. Preliminary investigations later revealed that the same individual was declared as having “passed” the learner’s licence test though he never wrote the test.
Police recovered the fee from the driving school owner and from the examiner. The recovered cash was registered as exhibit.
Investigations are continuing.
