ELM has no record of speeding violations
VANDERBIJLPARK – Vaal Triangle speedsters will be smiling broadly after the Emfuleni Local Municipality (ELM)'s speed traffic equipment and data were repossessed by a service provider due to non-payment.
ELM's inability to meet its financial obligations continues to have widening consequences. Last week, the customer service centre in Vanderbijlpark was shut down by the landlord due to unpaid rent, reportedly amounting to millions.
By August 2024, ELM owed ESKOM approximately R8b, and there are currently discussions that ELM could be placed under full administration.
The speed cameras and accident-recording cameras were removed in Evaton, Sebokeng, Vaaloewer, Vanderbijlpark, and Vereeniging. The associated data was also taken by the service provider. In a nutshell, this means that ELM and its traffic department have no information on outstanding fines from 2021 to 16 July of this year.
