RTIA Annual Report E-Book

In addition to the above programme, the Agency also plans to participate in the transgression model laws, which were initiated by the Tripartite Transport Transit Facilitation Programme (TTTFP), to integrate the law enforcement within SADAC and COMESA. These model laws also seek to introduce the decriminalisation of traffic law enforcement in the region and the introduction of a common adjudication system, which is similar to the AARTO programme, across all participating member states. The participation of the Agency in these processes will ensure that the Agency is able to introduce strategies of effecting the enforcement orders, demerit points and the rehabilitation to foreign drivers. Acknowledgments / Appreciation The Board would like to express its heartfelt appreciation for the unwavering support and guidance that the Agency enjoyed

under the leadership of the erstwhile Honourable Minister, Ms Sindisiwe Chikunga, MP and the Honourable Deputy Minister, Mr Lisa Mangcu. I would like to also take this opportunity to thank the leadership of the erstwhile Chairperson of the Board of RTIA, Ms Bongekile Zulu, who led the Agency during the two quarters of 2023/2024 financial years. I would like to also extend further words of gratitude to the senior management at the Roads Branch of the Department of Transport, staff members of RTIA, members of SAPO, Government Printing Works (GPW), members of the Issuing Authorities for availing themselves to the sessions of the Technical Committee of the Board.
