Ja..nee…only in South Africa! Slowly doesn’t do it any more for some - especially in the little backwater town of Hendrina, where a motorist has been fined R100 for doing 53km/h in a 60km/h zone.

In Church Street, the town’s main street, the long arm of the law, that prowls the empty streets at night…waiting..in fast cars and on foot… pounced, and motorist was given a speeding ticket.
Wanting a explanation from the traffic cop that this couldn’t be right, fell on deaf ears. (nothing new )

Enquiries to Steve Tshwete municipality at Middelburg (which has jurisdiction over Hendrina) were not answered. ( we have a good idea of how admin staff in government offices spend their time..!)

Apparently the town’s traffic department said the fine would have to be defended in court.
