Ek praat namens ons taxi-drivers wat elke dag die pad D3402 ry van Divundu tot Rundu. Sit vir ons asb. ‘n ander kontrakteur op RA. Julle het die regte kontrakteur afgehaal wat goed was. RA kry ons ou kontrakteur terug. Kyk ons pad. Ons kry baie swaar met ons ventures asb. Die ou kontakteurs se skrapers staan nog lang die pad.
Swakopmund Town Clerk: Your Municipal Traffic Officers, are they still working, or just daily on duty to fulfill the numbers and then enjoy their day sitting in the offices?
The sadness of this is that their vehicles is not standing at the Municipal HQ. Now and then you will see a traffic officer driving around, if not doing shopping. They are only visible at certain spots in town, where everyone can see that they are doing something.
They give people fines for talking on their cell phones, while municipal workers also do so, and they do not prosecute them. They issue fines to private people and companies, for more than two people in front of the vehicle, again municipal workers do the same, and nothing happens. Isn’t that double standards?
In the early mornings many boats are taken to the Mole, unlicensed, unregistered, and with no lights at the back of the trailer. The best of all, some of the drivers only have a Code B driving license, and is not allowed to tow the trailer.
People are driving around daily in the streets of Swakopmund with unregistered, unlicensed electric motor cycles. For your info, the RTTA, 1999 definitions read as follows: “motor vehicle” means any selfpropelled vehicle and includes – (a), a trailer; (b), a vehicle the tare of which exceeds 30 kilograms and having pedals and an engine or an electric motor as an integral part thereof, or attached thereto and that can be propelled by means of such pedals, engine or motor or both such pedals and engine or motor, but does not include – (i) a pedestrian controlled vehicle propelled by electrical power derived from storage batteries.
Last but not least, a few big problem:
1) After eight, and during the night, Swakopmund streets change into race tracks; unlisenced drivers start enjoyning themselves, driving around in town to party places, cinemas and back, as they know after eight the traffic police is off duty.
2) Pirate-taxis is still busy with their illegal transport and an irritation to everyone driving in John Otto Nankudhu Street and Nelson Mandela Ave, as they park on the driveway and on the pavements looking/waiting for passengers.
