Police discover evidence of busloads of 'strangers' arriving in the province to buy fake licences.
Investigating officer, Inspector Jerry Maphanga said on Sunday that more than the 68 temporary licenses had, however, been sold at three driving schools in the province. He said he and his colleagues spent the whole of last week taking statements from 13 people who allegedly bought their temporary licences last year. He said police confiscated 68 fraudulent drivers' licences from the Ekangala and KwaMhlanga traffic departments that were to be given to the fake temporary license holders. The licenses were sent to Home Affairs in Pretoria to determine if they were valid. He said one book, which was stolen from the Ekangala traffic department, had only 20 pages left out of 50 and was later secretly returned to the station s storeroom after fraudulent licences were issued.
