Significant law-enforcement outcomes through the Gauteng Transport Inspectorate (GTI) festive-season operations
The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport has recorded significant law-enforcement outcomes through the Gauteng Transport Inspectorate (GTI) during festive-season operations conducted between 22 and 28 December 2025 across Tshwane, Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni.
During the period, GTI officers issued hundreds of infringement notices, discontinued unsafe vehicles, effected arrests for serious offences, and impounded vehicles operating unlawfully.
A total of 45 vehicles were discontinued, 30 vehicles impounded, and 27 arrests were effected, mainly for drunk driving and bribery. Enforcement also targeted public transport compliance, resulting in 187 minibuses found without licence discs, 193 drivers operating without valid driving licences, and 65 minibuses discontinued.
Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport, Kedibone Diale-Tlabela, said the results reflect the department’s zero-tolerance approach to lawlessness.
“Reckless driving, drunk driving and corruption will not be tolerated on our roads. Our inspectors remain visible and decisive in protecting road users during this high-risk festive period,” said MEC Diale-Tlabela.
She reiterated the department’s focus on public transport safety.
“Removing unroadworthy vehicles and unlicensed drivers from our roads is a critical intervention to save lives and ensure safe public transport,” she added.
Festive-season law-enforcement operations will continue across Gauteng.
