Tshwane MMC for roads and transport Tlangi Mogale has urged residents not to accept assistance from runners at municipal licensing centres, warning they are scamming members of the public and issuing fake documents.
Her warning follows an incident in which a man was allegedly defrauded of more than R5,000 by a runner who claimed they would assist him at a licensing department but provided him with fraudulent paperwork.
In a video posted on social media, Mogale addressed residents at the Akasia licensing centre, cautioning the public against handing personal documents to people loitering outside the facility.
