# Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport, Kedibone Diale-Tlabela, says stop-and-search operations remain a critical pillar of the province’s road safety strategy. Eleven minibuses were discontinued after inspectors identified serious mechanical defects during an operation in Tshwane, Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni. The department’s spokesperson, Lesiba Mpya, says a total of 33 minibus taxi drivers were found operating without valid driving licences, while a further 32 vehicles were operating without valid licence discs:
