Groenewald, Mr HB to ask the Minister of Transport

With reference to his reply to question 2529 on 4 September 2017 pertaining to statistics from arrests during the 2016-17 festive season, (a) why does the Road Traffic Management Company (RTMC) not keep record of the data requested and (b) from what other source does the RTMC obtain this data?

Reply:

a) The recording of blood test results from Police Forensic laboratories is a mandate of SAPS. Traffic Officers only serve as complainants on the matter and the docket is processed by SAPS detectives. All 2016/17 cases are still pending.

b) The data is kept on SAPS CAS system and Department of Justice Register.
