DA raises concerns over legality of Gauteng's Traffic Warden unit, AmaPanyaza

View descriptionShare

The Democratic Alliance, DA In Gauteng has raised fresh concerns over the legality of the Gauteng Traffic Warden unit, known as "AmaPanyaza." The DA is demanding that Premier Panyaza Lesufi clarify whether the unit complies with the South African Police Service Act, citing its lack of accreditation and inadequate training for wardens. The party claims the programme, launched just before the 2024 General Elections, lacks a clear budget and defined roles, posing risks to wardens' safety. The DA also accuses Lesufi of misleading the public during the 2024 State of the Province Address, where he claimed over 6,000 wardens were permanently employed. In a recent response in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature, Lesufi admitted wardens still require further training to secure permanent positions as peace officers.
