Handover of specialised BMWs to WC Provincial Traffic in Worcester, Beaufort West and Laingsburg

On Thursday 5 October 2023, Western Cape Minister of Mobility, Ricardo Mackenzie, will officially hand over the next batch of high-performance replacement vehicles to his department's Traffic Law Enforcement branch. This handover is for the Worcester, Beaufort West and Laingsbug Provincial Traffic Centres.

The new BMWs are not standard sedans, but specialised vehicles that have been converted and optimised for the work of traffic law enforcement on the main provincial and national roads. The use of advanced in-vehicle technology, which includes licence plate recognition cameras, will enable Provincial Traffic officers to be even more effective in making the Western Cape safe and reducing the number of road crash fatalities.

Date:              Thursday 5 October 2023

Time:               10:00
