Question NW1172 to the Minister of Transport
04 May 2018 - NW1172
Dreyer, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Transport
With reference to the reply to question 3551 on 10 November 2017, why did a certain officer (name furnished) receive an accredited qualification without a driving licence at the time?
Reply:
Ms T C Zulu was enrolled into the Examiner of Vehicles course in 2015 because she was in possession of a code EC driving license which she obtained on the 6th August 2014.
Reg 2(1)(c) of the National Road Traffic Act 93/1996 prescribes that:
“The chief executive officer shall grade an examiner of vehicles as a – Grade C, if the diploma referred to in section 3D (1) of the Act indicates that such examiner is qualified to examine and test a motor vehicle of any class, except for a motorcycle or motor tricycle and such examiner holds a Code EC driving license for a manual transmission”
To date the above mentioned learner has not been issued with a diploma in examiner of vehicles, it is due to be issued soon.
