Motorists urged to reclaim vehicles from Ekurhuleni pound before auction
The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department is appealing to motorists who have had their vehicles impounded to come forward and reclaim them before they are auctioned off. From May 15 to June 16, 2025, the EMPD will be available to assist owners in claiming their vehicles from the pound. The collection hours are set from 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) is urging vehicle owners who have had their vehicles impounded to act swiftly, as they have a limited window to reclaim their property. Those who do not reclaim their vehicles within the specified dates risk losing them permanently, as unclaimed vehicles will be put up for public auction. This action falls in accordance with Regulation 320(4) of the National Traffic Act (NRTA) 93 of 1996, which stipulates how proceeds from such auctions are to be managed," the EMPD said. In a public statement, an EMPD spokesperson noted, 'We understand that many people rely heavily on their vehicles for daily commuting and work purposes. We urge all owners to come forward and reclaim their vehicles to avoid the unfortunate situation of losing them at auction.'
