MEMORANDUM ON THE OBJECTS OF THE DRAFT WESTERN

CAPE PROVINCIAL ROAD TRAFFIC ADMINISTRATION
AMENDMENT BILL, 2016

1. BACKGROUND

1.1 The Western Cape Provincial Road Traffic Administration Act, 2012 (Act 6 of
2012) (the Act), was assented to on 7 December 2012 and brought into
operation by proclamation on 1 June 2013.

1.2 The Act repealed the Western Cape Provincial Road Traffic Act, 1998 (Act 12
of 1998), which was meant to supplement the National Road Traffic Act, 1996
(Act 93 of 1996), and to deal with road traffic matters of provincial concern.
Shortly after those two Acts were passed, the National Parliament passed the
Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act, 1998 (Act 46 of
1998), and the Road Traffic Management Corporation Act, 1999 (Act 20 of
1999). These Acts necessitated substantial amendments to the National Road
Traffic Act, 1996, and the Western Cape Provincial Road Traffic Act, 1998.

1.3 The Act replaced the Western Cape Provincial Road Traffic Act, 1998, by
providing limited legislation as was required to supplement the amended
National Road Traffic Act, 1996. The Act was primarily aimed at providing for
the administration of vehicle licence fees, which are required under section 92
of the National Road Traffic Act, 1996, to be administered by the Province,
that is, vehicle licence fees are to be set by the Minister responsible for road
traffic matters in the Province (the Provincial Minister) and the fees are to be
paid into the Provincial Revenue Fund. Various sections in the Act were
intended to provide for these administrative requirements.

2. OBJECTS OF THE DRAFT BILL

2.1 One of the purposes of the Draft Western Cape Provincial Road Traffic
Administration Amendment Bill (the Draft Bill) is to provide for the
Provincial Minister to make regulations for the impoundment of vehicles for
certain road traffic offences. This followed a policy-making process under-
taken by the Provincial Minister regarding the need for more stringent actions
to curb the contraventions of traffic laws. The intention is to deal more
effectively with certain offences that very substantially threaten road safety,
but that cannot be adequately dealt with through the normal mechanism of
issuing fines. Applying impoundment as a deterrent will be an additional
measure to counter poor adherence to traffic laws.

2.2 A second purpose of the Draft Bill is to address the need for revised legislation
that allows the Province to promote road safety by repealing the National
Road Safety Act, 1972 (Act 9 of 1972), and replacing it with provisions
introduced through the Draft Bill. In terms of the Draft Bill the Provincial
Minister may also make regulations on the promotion or improvement of road
safety. The National Road Safety Act, 1972, was assigned to the Province in
1995 and its repeal will be applicable only in the Province. The provisions
contained in the Draft Bill are similar to those in the National Road Safety Act,
1972, in that they allow the Province to undertake educational, promotional
and research activities in the Province with the aim of educating and
encouraging the public to use roads safely. The National Road Safety Act,
1972, has been amended insofar as the responsible persons for the
administration of the legislation have been updated to reflect responsible
elected or appointed office-bearers in the current Provincial Government.

3. CONTENTS OF THE DRAFT BILL

3.1 Clause 1 of the Draft Bill provides additional definitions in section 1 not
included in the National Road Safety Act, 1972, as are required to support new
provisions inserted into the Act by the Draft Bill.
12 September 2016 Province of the Western Cape: Provincial Gazette Extraordinary 7677 7

3.2 Clause 2 repeals section 2 of the Act. This section provided for registers and
records as were originally considered necessary for the administration of
vehicle licence fees. On review, it has been determined that the section is not
required, because all registers and records for vehicle licence fees are
provided for under the National Road Traffic Act, 1996. The eNaTIS system is
the single national database where, among other information relating to
drivers and vehicles, all records needed for the administration of applications,
issuing and payments for vehicle licence fees are recorded.

3.3 Clause 3 repeals section 3 of the Act. This section made provision for the
making of copies of any document in a register or record where a document
was required as documentary evidence. Any copy required can now be
obtained through eNaTIS, making section 3 unnecessary.

3.4 Clause 4 inserts section 5A of the Draft Bill into the Act.

Section 5A of the Draft Bill, titled ‘‘Road Safety’’, replaces the provisions of
the National Road Safety Act, 1972. It requires the Provincial Minister to
develop a road safety plan for the Province in consultation with the
Shareholders Committee and the chief executive officer of the Road Traffic
Management Corporation. The need for consultation is due to the Sharehold-
ers Committee (consisting of the National Minister and the MECs of the nine
provinces) and the chief executive officer having responsibilities nationally
for road safety, and any provincial road safety plan must be drawn up and
implemented in coordination with national initiatives.

Section 5A further sets out the responsibilities of the head of the department
responsible for road safety matters in the Province (the Head of Department)
to implement the Province’s road safety plan. This essentially involves the
development of information systems and the promotion of road safety through
research, education and training.

3.5 Clause 5 empowers the Provincial Minister under a new subsection in

section 7 to prescribe fees for infringements that may lead to the impound-
ment of vehicles.

3.6 Clause 6 inserts additional matters in section 8 for which the Provincial
Minister is empowered to make regulations. These include legislation that will
promote road safety and which can be made to regulate items included in
section 5A. Clause 6 further gives the Provincial Minister the power to make
regulations in connection with any duties of road users and on measures to
regulate road traffic in the Province.

Clause 6 introduces new paragraphs empowering the Provincial Minister to

make regulations on the impoundment of vehicles in instances where certain
traffic laws are transgressed. The impoundment regulations will further
determine the qualifications of ‘‘authorised officers’’ who will be empowered
to impound vehicles, and will provide for the establishment, declaration,
operation and administration of impoundment facilities where impounded
vehicles are to be securely stored until they can be released to the owner.

3.7 Clause 7 amends section 9 to allow the Provincial Minister to delegate any
powers under the Act, except the making of regulations, to the Head of
Department. The amendment of section 9 further allows for the Head of
Department to delegate any power to an official of the Department.

3.8 Clause 8 corrects an incorrect reference in section 13 of the Act.

3.9 Clause 9 alters the title of the Act to the ‘‘Western Cape Provincial Road
Traffic Act, 2012’’ to reflect the change that the Act will no longer be confined
to traffic administration, but will cover a wider scope of road traffic
responsibilities, which will include road traffic safety promotion, road traffic
regulation and road traffic enforcement.
8 Province of the Western Cape: Provincial Gazette Extraordinary 7677 12 September 2016

3.10 Clause 10 amends the references in the Act to the Minister responsible for
road traffic matters in the Province from ‘‘Minister’’ to ‘‘Provincial Minister’’
for the sake of consistency in terminology in provincial legislation.

3.11 Clause 11 repeals the National Road Safety Act, 1972, insofar as its
administration has been assigned to the Province.

3.12 Clause 12 alters the long title of the Act.

3.13 Clause 13 deals with the short title and commencement of the Bill.

MEMORANDUM VAN DIE OOGMERKE VAN DIE WES-KAAPSE

PROVINSIALE KONSEPWYSIGINGSWETSONTWERP OP
PADVERKEERSADMINISTRASIE, 2016

1. AGTERGROND

1.1 Die Wes-Kaapse Provinsiale Wet op Padverkeersadministrasie, 2012 (Wet 6

van 2012) (die Wet), is op 7 Desember 2012 bekragtig en is op 1 Junie 2013
by proklamasie in werking gestel.

1.2 Die Wet het die Wes-Kaapse Provinsiale Padverkeerswet, 1998 (Wet 12 van
1998), wat bedoel was om die Nasionale Padverkeerswet, 1996 (Wet 93 van
1996), aan te vul en om werk te maak van padverkeersaangeleenthede van
provinsiale belang, herroep. Kort nadat daardie twee wette goedgekeur is, het
die Nasionale Parlement die Wet op die Administratiewe Beregting van
Padverkeersmisdrywe, 1998 (Wet 46 van 1998), en die Wet op die
Padverkeersbestuurskorporasie, 1999 (Wet 20 van 1999), goedgekeur.
Hierdie wette het aansienlike wysigings van die Nasionale Padverkeerswet,
1996, en die Wes-Kaapse Provinsiale Padverkeerswet, 1998, genoodsaak.

1.3 Die Wet het die Wes-Kaapse Provinsiale Padverkeerswet, 1998, vervang deur
beperkte wetgewing te voorsien soos nodig was om die gewysigde Nasionale
Padverkeerswet, 1996, aan te vul. Die Wet was hoofsaaklik daarop gemik om
voorsiening te maak vir die administrasie van voertuiglisensiegelde wat
kragtens artikel 92 van die Nasionale Padverkeerswet, 1996, vereis word om
deur die Provinsie geadministreer te word, dit is, dat voertuiglisensiegelde
vasgestel moet word deur die Minister verantwoordelik vir
padverkeersaangeleenthede in die Provinsie (die Provinsiale Minister) en die
gelde in die Provinsiale Inkomstefonds gestort moet word. Verskeie artikels in
die Wet is bedoel om voorsiening te maak vir hierdie administratiewe
vereistes.

2. OOGMERKE VAN DIE WETSONTWERP

2.1 Een van die oogmerke van die Wes-Kaapse Provinsiale Konsepwysigingswet
op Padverkeersadministrasie, 2016 (die Konsepwetsontwerp) is om
voorsiening te maak vir die Provinsiale Minister om regulasies te maak vir die
skut van voertuie vir sekere padverkeersmisdrywe. Dit was die gevolg van ’n
beleidmakingsproses wat die Provinsiale Minister onderneem het rakende die
behoefte aan strenger optrede om oortredings van verkeerswette te beperk.
Die bedoeling is om sekere misdrywe wat padveiligheid aansienlik bedreig,
maar wat nie voldoende hanteer kan word deur die normale meganisme van
boetes uitreik nie, meer doeltreffend te hanteer. Deur die skut van voertuie toe
te pas as ’n afskrikmiddel sal ’n bykomende maatreël wees om swak
nakoming van verkeerswette teë te werk.

2.2 ’n Tweede oogmerk van die Konsepwetsontwerp is om in die behoefte aan

hersiene wetgewing te voorsien wat die Provinsie toelaat om padveiligheid te
bevorder deur die Wet op Nasionale Verkeersveiligheid, 1972 (Wet 9 van
1972), te herroep en dit te vervang met bepalings wat deur die
Konsepwetsontwerp ingebring word. Ingevolge die Konsepwetsontwerp kan
die Provinsiale Minister ook regulasies maak oor die bevordering of
verbetering van padveiligheid. Die Wet op Nasionale Verkeersveiligheid,
1972, is in 1995 aan die Provinsie opgedra, en die herroeping daarvan sal slegs
in die Provinsie van toepassing wees. Die bepalings vervat in die
Konsepwetsontwerp is soortgelyk aan dié in die Wet op Nasionale
Verkeersveiligheid, 1972, deurdat dit die Provinsie toelaat om
opvoedkundige, bevorderende en navorsingsbedrywighede in die Provinsie te
onderneem met die doel om die publiek te onderrig en aan te moedig om paaie
veilig te gebruik. Die Wet op Nasionale Verkeersveiligheid, 1972, is gewysig
in soverre die verantwoordelike persone vir die administrasie van die
wetgewing bygewerk is om die verantwoordelike verkose of aangestelde
ampsbekleërs in die huidige Provinsiale Regering te weerspieël.
14 Provinsie Wes-Kaap: Buitengewone Provinsiale Koerant 7677 12 September 2016

3. INHOUD VAN KONSEPWETSONTWERP

3.1 Klousule 1 van die Konsepwetsontwerp verskaf bykomende

woordomskrywings in artikel 1 wat nie in die Wet op Nasionale
Verkeersveiligheid, 1972, ingesluit is nie soos wat nodig is om die nuwe
bepalings wat deur die Konsepwetsontwerp in die Wet ingevoeg word, te
ondersteun.

3.2 Klousule 2 herroep artikel 2 van die Wet. Hierdie artikel het voorsiening
gemaak vir registers en rekords soos oorspronklik nodig geag is vir die
administrasie van voertuiglisensiegelde. By hersiening is daar bepaal dat die
artikel nie nodig is nie omdat voorsiening gemaak is vir alle registers en
rekords vir voertuiglisensiegelde deur die Nasionale Padverkeerswet, 1996.
Die eNaTIS-stelsel is die enkele nasionale databasis waar, tussen ander
inligting in verband met bestuurders en voertuie, alle rekords aangeteken
word wat benodig word vir die administrasie van aansoeke, uitreiking en
betalings vir voertuiglisensiegelde.

3.3 Klousule 3 herroep artikel 3 van die Wet. Hierdie artikel het voorsiening
gemaak vir die maak van afskrifte van enige dokument in ’n register of rekord
waar ’n dokument nodig was as dokumentêre bewys. Enige afskrif wat nodig
is kan nou deur eNaTIS bekom word, wat artikel 3 onnodig maak.

3.4 Klousule 4 voeg artikel 5A van die Konsepwetsontwerp in die Wet in.

Artikel 5A van die Konsepwetsontwerp, getiteld ‘‘Padveiligheid’’, vervang

die bepalings van die Nasionale Wet op Verkeersveiligheid, 1972. Dit vereis
van die Provinsiale Minister om ’n padveiligheidsplan vir die Provinsie te
ontwikkel in oorleg met die Aandeelhouerskomitee en die hoof uitvoerende
beampte van die Padverkeersbestuurskorporasie. Oorlegpleging is nodig
omdat die Aandeelhouerskomitee (wat bestaan uit die Nasionale Minister en
die LUR’e van die nege provinsies) en die hoof uitvoerende beampte
nasionaal verantwoordelikhede vir padveiligheid het, en enige provinsiale
padveiligheidsplan moet in samewerking met die nasionale inisiatiewe
opgestel en uitgevoer word.

Artikel 5A sit verder die verantwoordelikhede van die hoof van die
departement verantwoordelik vir padveiligheidsaangeleenthede in die
Provinsie (die Departementshoof) uiteen om die Provinsie se
padveiligheidsplan te implementeer. Dit behels hoofsaaklik die ontwikkeling
van inligtingstelsels en die bevordering van padveiligheid deur navorsing,
opvoeding en opleiding.

3.5 Klousule 5 verleen kragtens ’n nuwe subartikel in artikel 7 aan die

Provinsiale Minister die bevoegdheid om gelde voor te skryf vir oortredings
wat tot die skut van voertuie aanleiding kan gee.

3.6 Klousule 6 voeg bykomende aangeleenthede in artikel 8 in waarvoor die

Provinsiale Minister die bevoegdheid het om regulasies te maak. Hierdie sluit
in wetgewing wat padveiligheid sal bevorder en wat gemaak kan word om
items vervat in artikel 5A te reguleer.

Klousule 6 bring nuwe paragrawe in wat aan die Provinsiale Minister die
bevoegdheid verleen om regulasies te maak oor die skut van voertuie in
gevalle waar sekere verkeerswette oortree word. Die skutregulasies sal die
kwalifikasies van ‘‘gemagtigde beamptes’’ wat die bevoegdheid sal hê om
voertuie te skut, verder bepaal en sal voorsiening maak vir die instelling,
verklaring, werking en administrasie van skutfasiliteite waar geskutte
voertuie veilig gestoor staan te word totdat dit vrygelaat kan word.

3.7 Klousule 7 wysig artikel 9 om die Provinsiale Minister toe te laat om enige
bevoegdhede kragtens die Wet, behalwe die maak van regulasies, aan die
Departementshoof te delegeer. Die wysiging van artikel 9 laat verder die
12 September 2016 Provinsie Wes-Kaap: Buitengewone Provinsiale Koerant 7677 15

Departementshoof toe om enige bevoegdheid aan ’n beampte van die

Departement te delegeer.

3.8 Klousule 8 stel ’n verkeerde verwysing in artikel 13 van die Wet reg.

3.9 Klousule 9 verander die titel van die Wet na die ‘‘Wes-Kaapse Provinsiale
Wet op Padverkeer, 2012’’ om die verandering weer te gee dat die Wet nie
meer tot verkeersadministrasie beperk sal wees nie maar ’n wyer omvang van
padverkeersverantwoordelikhede sal dek wat padverkeersveiligheid,
padverkeersregulering en padverkeersafdwinging sal insluit.

3.10 Klousule 10 wysig die verwysings in die Wet na die Minister verantwoordelik
vir padverkeersaangeleenthede van ‘‘Minister’’ na ‘‘Provinsiale Minister’’ vir
konsekwensie van terminologie in provinsiale wetgewing.

3.11 Klousule 11 herroep die Nasionale Wet op Verkeersveiligheid, 1972, in

soverre die administrasie daarvan aan die Provinsie opgedra is.

3.12 Klousule 12 verander die lang titel van die Wet.

3.13 Klousule 13 handel oor die kort titel en inwerkingtreding van die
Wetsontwerp.

kwiPhondo (uMphathiswa wePhondo) yaye loo mirhumo kufuneka imali
yayo ingene kwiNgxowa-mali yeNgeniso yePhondo. Amacandelo ahlukileyo
alo Mthetho ayenzelwe ukuphumeza ezi mfuno zolawulo.

2. IINJONGO ZOMTHETHO OSAYILWAYO

2.1 Enye yeeNjongo zoMthetho oSayilwayo woLawulo lwezoThutho eziNdleleni

wePhondo leNtshona Koloni (umthetho osayilwayo) kukulungiselela
uMphathiswa wePhondo ukuba enze imigaqo yokubanjwa kwezithuthi
ngenxa yokwaphulwa kwemigaqo ethile yezendlela. Oku kulandela inkqubo
yokwenziwa kwemigaqonkqubo eyenziwe nguMphathiswa wePhondo
malunga nesidingo samanyathelo angqongqo ukunqanda ukophulwa
kwemithetho yendlela. Injongo kukusebenza ngokufanelekileyo ngezenzo
zolwaphulo-mthetho ezithile ezibeka ukhuseleko ezindleleni emngciphe-
kweni kodwa ekungakwazekiyo ukusebenza ngazo ngokufanelekileyo
ngendlela eqhelekileyo yokukhupha izohlwayo. Ukubamba izithuthi iya kuba
linyathelo elongezelelekileyo ukunyanzelisa ukuthotyelwa kwemigaqo
yeendlela.

2.2 Injongo yesibini yalo Mthetho uSayilwayo kukuhoya isidingo sokuhlaziya

imithetho evumela iPhondo ukuba liphakamise ukhuseleko ezindleleni
ngokutshitshisa umthetho iNational Road Safety Act, 1972 (uMthetho 9
ka-1972), ze endaweni yawo kungene uMthetho oSayilwayo. Ngokwalo
Mthetho uSayilwayo, uMphathiswa wePhondo angenza imigaqo
yokuphakamisa okanye ukuphucula ukhuseleko ezindleleni. UMthetho
iNational Road Safety Act, 1972, wadluliselwa kwiPhondo ngo-1995 yaye
utshitshiso luya kusebenza kuphela kwiPhondo. Imiqathango equlethwe kulo
Mthetho uSayilwayo ibufana naleyo ikwiNational Road Safety Act, 1972,
kuba ivumela iPhondo ukuba lenze imisebenzi yokufundisa, yokuphakamisa
okanye ukukhuthaza neyophando kwiPhondo ngenjongo yokufundisa
nokukhuthaza ukusetyenziswa kweendlela zikawonke-wonke ngokukhu-
selekileyo. UMthetho iNational Road Safety Act, 1972, wenziwe izilungiso
kumba wabantu abanoxanduva lolawulo lwemithetho, uhlaziyiwe ukubonisa
amagosa anoxanduva okanye aqeshiweyo kuRhulumente wePhondo okhoyo
ngoku.

3. IZINTO EZIQULETHWE NGULO MTHETHO USAYILWAYO

3.1 Isolotya 1 loMthetho oSayilwayo linikeza iinkcazelo ezongezelelweyo

kwicandelo 1 ezingabandakanyangwa kuMthetho iNational Road Safety Act,
1972, ezidingekayo ukuxhasa imigaqo emitsha efakwe kulo mthetho
nguMthetho oSayilwayo.

3.2 Isolotya 2 litshitshisa icandelo 2 lalo Mthetho. Eli candelo libonelela

ngeerejista neerekhodi ezazidingeka ukulawula imirhumo yeelayisenisi
zezithuthi. Kuthe xa kuphononongwa, kwabonwa ukuba eli candelo
alidingeki ngoba zonke iirejista neerekhodi zemirhumo yeelayisenisi
zezithuthi zifakiwe kwiNational Road Traffic Act, 1996. Inkqubo ye-eNaTIS
nguvimba welizwe lonke apho kufakwe zonke iinkcukacha zabaqhubi
nezezithuthi, nazo zonke iirekhodi ezidingekayo zolawulo lwezicelo
nokukhutshwa nokuhlawulwa kwemirhumo yeelayisenisi zezithuthi.

3.3 Isolotya 3 litshitshisa icandelo 3 lalo Mthetho. Eli candelo lilungiselele

ukwenziwa kweekopi zalo naluphi uxwebhu olukwirejista okanye
olukwirekhodi oludingwa njengobungqina. Nayiphi ngoku ikopi edingekayo
ingafunyanwa kwi-NaTIS, nto leyo eyenza ukuba icandelo 3 lingadingeki.

3.4 Isolotya 4 lifaka icandelo 5A loMthetho oSayilwayo kulo Mthetho.

Icandelo 5A loMthetho oSayilwayo, elinesihloko esithi ‘‘uKhuseleko

eziNdleleni’’, lingena endaweni yemiqathango yeNational Road Safety Act,
1972. Lifuna ukuba uMphathiswa wePhondo enze isicwangciso sokhuseleko
ezindleleni sePhondo esebenzisana neKomiti yaBanini-zabelo, nengqonyela
okanye iRoad Traffic Management Corporation. Isidingo sokubonisana
singenxa yokuba iKomiti yaBanini-zabelo (enoMphathiswa weSizwe nee-
MECs zamaphondo olithoba) nengqonyela inoxanduva lokhuseleko
lweendlela kwilizwe lonke, yaye nasiphi isicwangciso sokhuseleko
ezindleleni kufuneka senziwe ze simiselwe ngokuhambisana namaphulo
esizwe.

Icandelo 5A likwabeka uxanduva lwentloko yesebe enoxanduva lwemicimbi

yokhuseleko ezindleleni kwiPhondo (iNtloko yeSebe) ukuba imisele
isicwangciso sokhuseleko ezindleleni sePhondo. Oku kubandakanya
ukwenziwa kweenkqubo zeeenkcukacha nokuphakamisa ukhuseleko
ezindleleni ngokuthi kwenziwe uphando, iimfundiso noqeqesho.

3.5 Isolotya 5 lixhobisa uMphathiswa wePhondo phantsi kwecandelwana 7

ukuba abeke imirhumo yokophulwa kwemithetho enokukhokelela
ekubanjweni kwezithuthi.

3.6 Isolotya 6 lifaka imiba eyongezelelekileyo kwicandelo 8 egunyazisa

uMphathiswa wePhondo ukuba enze imigaqo. Le miba ibandakanya umgaqo
oza kuphakamisa ukhuseleko ezindleleni enokwenziwa ukuba ilawule imiba
ebandakanywe kwicandelo 5A. Isolotya 6 likwanika uMphathiswa wePhondo
igunya lokwenza imigaqo emalunga nemisebenzi yabasebenzisi-zindlela
namanyathelo okulawula izithuthi ezisezindleleni kwiPhondo.

Isolotya 6 liza nemihlathi emitsha yokuxhobisa uMphathiswa wePhondo

ukuba enze imigaqo yokubanjwa kwezithuthi apho kophulwe imigaqo ethile
yezendlela. Imigaqo yokubanjwa kwezithuthi iza kugqiba nangokuba
ngoobani abafanele ukuba babe ‘’ngamagosa agunyazisayo’’ aza kunikwa
igunya lokubamba izithuthi yaye iza kubonelela ngomiselo, ubhengezo,
ukusebenza nolawulo lwezibonelelo ezinezithuthi ezibanjiweyo apho ziza
kugcinwa khona ngokukhuselekileyo de zize kukhululwa ngabanini bazo.

3.7 Isolotya 7 lenza izilungiso kwicandelo 9 ukuvumela uMphathiswa wePhondo

ukuba adlulisele amagunya alo Mthetho, ngaphandle kwalawo okwenziwa
kwemigaqo, kwiNtloko yeSebe. Ukwenziwa kwezilungiso kwicandelo 9
22 IPhondo leNtshona Koloni: Isongezelelo kwiGazethi yePhondo 7677 12 kweyoMsintsi 2016

kukwavumela ukuba iNtloko yeSebe idlulisele nawaphi na amagunya kumntu

osebenzela iSebe.

3.8 Isolotya 8 lilungisa ubhekiso olungachanekanga olukwicandelo 13 lalo

Mthetho.

3.9 Isolotya 9 litshintsha isihloko salo Mthetho ukuba ube ‘’nguMthetho

wokuHamba kweziThuthi eziNdleleni kwiPhondo leNtshona Koloni, 2012’’
ukubonisa utshintsho lokuba lo Mthetho awuzi kuphelela nje kulawulo
lwezithuthi kodwa uza kudlulela nakuxanduva lwezithuthi ezisezindleleni
olubandakanya ukuphakanyiswa kokhuseleko ezindleleni, imigaqo
yezendlela nokunyanzeliswa kwemithetho yezendlela.

3.10 Isolotya 10 lenza izilungiso kwindawo zalo Mthetho ezibhekisa

kuMphathiswa onoxanduva lwemiba yezithuthi ezindleleni zePhondo ukuze
‘‘uMphathiswa’’ abizwe ngokuba ‘’nguMphathiswa wePhondo’’
ngokuhambelana nesigama esisetyenziswa kwimithetho yephondo.

3.11 Isolotya 11 litshitshisa iNational Road Safety Act, 1972, kumsebenzi

wolawulo nanjengoko lo msebenzi unikwe iPhondo.

3.12 Isolotya 12 litshintsha isihloko eside salo Mthetho.

3.13 Isolotya 13 lijongana nesihloko esifutshane nokuqala kokusebenza kwalo

Mthetho uSayilwayo.
