The Special Investigative Unit (SIU) has found that the identity numbers of deceased persons are being used to fraudulently facilitate the renewal of vehicle licences for truck owners whose accounts with the licensing department have been suspended. SIU spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago on June 9 said the SIU had uncovered this scheme during an analysis of the National Administration Traffic Information System (NaTIS). He explained that truck owners whose accounts with the licensing department have been suspended owing to the nonpayment of traffic fines, were colluding with employees of the licensing department to move the unpaid fines to the identities of deceased persons.
