Public Protector�s official vehicle
involved in an accident
Thusday, 02 February 2012
The Public Protector�s state-owned vehicle was involved in
an accident in the early hours of Wednesday morning. It
crashed onto a wall of a private household.
The Public Protector was not a passenger at the time of the
accident. She was asleep at home after returning from an
official function in Sandton, Johannesburg the previous
night.
It emerged that the Public Protector�s son was the driver at
the time of the accident. The driver, who is legally
licensed to drive, did not sustain any serious injuries.
The incident was immediately reported to the Garsfontein
Police Station on Wednesday and the Public Protector expects
the law to take its course.
�I will submit myself to internal processes regarding the
use of state vehicles in line with terms and conditions of
my employment. I have already made contact with the owners
of the affected property and agreed to compensate them for
the damage,� said the Public Protector.
