Driver axed for 'borrowing' municipal vehicle, crashing it
Diamond Field Advertisers
|September 26, 2025
THE DRIVER assigned to the Kgatelopele Municipality Speaker has been dismissed after he was involved in a crash while travelling between Kimberley and Danielskuil.
It is believed the municipal vehicle collided with a truck and was damaged beyond repair. An unauthorised passenger was reportedly travelling in the car at the time. No serious injuries were confirmed.
According to sources, the driver was often instructed to collect passengers.
The municipality apparently only became aware that the vehicle had been removed from the premises after being alerted to the crash.
Kgatelopele municipal manager Willie Blundin confirmed this week that the driver was dismissed with immediate effect.
