Weak/Poor Traffic Law/Officials in RSA

Whom do you complain if the Law Enforcement/Traffic staff personnel does not comply with the Road Users not obey to the rules of the road?

I am so furious regarding traffic offenders/taxis just get away with the way they drive upsetting other road users on a daily basis on my way to work & home... driving in the yellow lane to avoid traffic, using the left/right turn as a straight line.

Taxis stopping without signaling or sudden stops. Stops at a turn-in blocking the other road user from turning or moving. Avanza's just stop and pick up at no bus/taxi stops, standing on the corner picking up passengers or waiting on passengers whilst blocking traffic.

Vehicles daily on the road with no tail lights or just parking lights, some do not even have lights at all... just hazards flashing. Guess what, they still driving on the road today, I see them every day.

What really ****es me off is that there are Traffic Officials/ Law Enforcement & Metro Police vehicles driving past them, not doing anything... thus the reasons they as the taxi drivers just do what they want. Our Law is WEAK, officials do not know how to handle RSA road users who do not comply after many offences/fines issues. Impound their vehicles, what are you waiting for?

Waiting on someone to lose their lives 1st, accidents to happen? No wonder we have so many death toll accidents on our roads, innocent people dying daily.

I have sent numerous emails to WCG regarding these issues and video clips from my dashcam. No one ever came back to me. Phone calls made to Law Enforcement Call Centre, only just to receive Reference numbers, but no action taken.

The same goes for the City Council, who report theft from parks/ roads of fence & cables being ****** daily. Roads are dark in the morning, you too scared to pull over when something is wrong with your car but rather drive further where it's safer to do so. Even street light poles are being removed/****** these days.

Is anyone doing anything about it? NO, NO, NO...getting paid huge sums of money from our tax money for doing nothing. Been months since we've been sitting without lights down Highlands Drive/R300 and now Morgenstern.

Who is monitoring these people/ who is monitoring the City transport being neglected/abused?

If I had to be their Transport/Fleet, Management person which is my position at my Company, every month staff would've been dismissed for poor work performance from the GVM sector.
