Traffic Cop, who took R200 bribe to buy a cooldrink because ‘it was hot’ looses to CCMA.
A traffic officer in Mpumalanga, who accepted a bribe and was subsequently fired, unsuccessfully challenged his dismissal at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).
It is reported that senior traffic officer, Mfanafuthi Gift Hleza, 33, was arrested by the Hawks in 2021, following a sting operation.Hleza was based at the Msukaligwa Local Municipality and was charged for corruption and released on R1 500 bail.
The CCMA found that Hleza’s version – that he took the R200 because he needed to buy a cooldrink because it had been a hot day – was dubious, the Sunday Times reported.
The commissioner ruled that his dismissal was fair.
