WESTERN CAPE – Sharief Khan who was employed as an Examiner at a vehicle testing station in Lansdowne was yesterday found guilty by the Wynberg Regional Court, Khan was fined R3000-00 which is wholly suspended for five (5) years on condition that he does not contravene section 3 &10 of PRECCA during the period of his suspension.

The court further obtained a confiscation order in terms of Section 18 of POCA and successfully forfeited profits of an amount of R3 250-00 that he made from his corrupt activity. This comes after the Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation team in Bellville acted on information received about the accused who was issuing unlawful vehicle roadworthy certificates to private individuals.

An investigation was launched which revealed that the accused was selling roadworthy certificates to motorists without the vehicle undergoing the necessary roadworthy test, this then resulted in his arrest in September 2021.
