Limpopo Traffic Officers Reject R100K Bribe And Arrest Two Zimbabwean Nationals After Alleged Unlicensed Medicine Transport And Smuggling Attempt In Masisi Two Zimbabwean nationals have been arrested after Limpopo traffic officers intercepted a vehicle allegedly transporting cough syrup and other medicine without the required pharmaceutical licence or certificate in Masisi, Vhembe District. The vehicle was stopped during a stop-and-check operation conducted by Provincial Inspectors Khubana and Nwendamutswu in the area. The vehicle was occupied by the two Zimbabwean nationals and two South African nationals when traffic officers intercepted it. The suspects were subsequently handed over to Malamulele Police Station, where a case was registered following the discovery of the medication allegedly being transported without the required documentation. According to the Limpopo Department of Transport and Community Safety, the suspects allegedly attempted to avoid arrest by offering the two traffic officers a R100,000 bribe. The officers rejected the alleged bribe and proceeded with an additional arrest on a charge of bribery, according to the department. Limpopo MEC for Transport and Community Safety, Nakedi Kekana, commended Provincial Inspectors Khubana and Nwendamutswu for their dedication, integrity and commitment to the rule of law. The suspects have been handed over to Malamulele Police Station, where the matter has been formally registered.
