The MEC for COGHSTA and Transport, Safety & Liaison, in the Northern Cape, Mr. Bentley Vass, today (09 January 2025), welcomed a total of sixteen (16) new Provincial Traffic inspectors to bolster road traffic law enforcement in the Northern Cape.<\/span><\/p>\n

This followed a decision by the Northern Cape Provincial Government to recruit a total of fifty (50) traffic trainees in 2024. These trainees were enrolled at the Matjhabeng Traffic Training Academy, in Welkom, Free State Province, to be trained, graduate and pass-out for the Certificate in Road Traffic Law Enforcement (NQF Level 4).<\/span><\/p>\n

Addressing the welcoming ceremony in Kimberley, MEC Bentley Vass, congratulated the new cohort of Provincial Traffic Inspectors who successfully completed the qualification that comprised a total of twenty unit standards and encouraged them to work hard and be exemplary professionals. <\/span><\/p>\n

MEC Vass said, “We are happy to have an additional sixteen (16) Provincial Traffic Inspectors on our roads to help us maintain law and order for all modes of transport by providing quality traffic policing services, as stipulated by the relevant legislation.”<\/span><\/p>\n

He further announced that by the beginning of March 2025, after an open recruitment process, an additional twenty-five (25) new Provincial Traffic Inspectors will be appointed by the Department of Transport, Safety & Liaison, to bolster the human resource capacity of the Provincial Traffic Inspectorate.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thirty-two (32) trainees who could not pass all their unit standards in 2024, will still have to successfully participate in the remedial programme and FISA (Final Integrated Summative Assessment) for them to conclude the training programme, in the first half of this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

MEC Vass said that valuable lessons were learnt from this pilot project and wished the trainees who have returned to the Training Academy in Welkom well as they embark on the remedial programme. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Provincial Traffic Inspectors, welcomed by the MEC, will be deployed to a total of 10 traffic stations throughout the Province and will commence their duties on Monday, 13 January 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n
