NO action has been taken a week after traffic cops caused chaos by blocking major routes in Nelson Mandela Bay.

About 100 traffic cops were arrested last Wednesday, after rush-hour traffic was brought to a standstill on the M4, opposite the North End prison, as well as busy intersections in Motherwell and New Brighton.

Municipal spokesman Luncedo Njezula said yesterday the matter was still being dealt with internally.

He refused to give details on how the issue was being handled.

Police spokesman Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg said police were still investigating cases of intimidation and public violence, and four violations of the National Road Traffic Act.

“We are still investigating and cannot say at this stage if any arrests will be made,” she said.

She also confirmed that an illegal gun had been found in one of the traffic department vehicles that had been towed to the police pound for obstructing traffic.

“There have been no arrests in connection with this yet. We are looking into the matter and need to establish if the pistol was used in any previous criminal activity.”

DA safety and security spokesman Gustav Rautenbach said he had asked for an urgent meeting with city safety and security committee chairman Bicks Ndoni but had not yet received a reply.

“I am very disappointed that no one had the decency to answer. It shows this is clearly not a top priority for metro officials.”
