South Africa: Mthethwa Must Explain Why Police Driver's Licence Figures Don't Add Up

press release

The difference in the national and provincial figures raises concerns about the credibility of the Minister's reply. It also leads to questions about possible manipulation of information to avoid further political embarrassment for a Department besieged by one PR disaster after the other.
