Arrogant head of traffic department blatantly ignores upset over parking bay

Barberton Times has in the past (2014) reported about the head of the Umjindi Traffic Department, Mr Stanley Nkabinde, who insists on parking in the bay demarcated for people with disabilities at the traffic department’s premises.

It seems that this has not deterred him at all, for he has continued to do so over the past two years. At the time of the article, the newspaper approached the director of community services, Comfort Makhanya, but has to this day not received an answer as to what was being done to put an end to Nkabinde’s arrogance.

This time around an email was sent to the municipal manager, Patrick Msibi. In it we requested to be informed when Nkabinde would be confronted.

“Although an officer of the law may park anywhere in the line of duty, given certain circumstances, there are numerous other bays Mr Nkabinde can occupy while working in his office. Why park on the spot demarcated for disabled persons? There is nothing wrong with his legs,” said a local resident.

At the time of going to print, this newspaper have not received any word from Msibi.
