Deadline set for uncollected vehicles at EMPD pounds
The City of Ekurhuleni has given motorists until January 27 to reclaim vehicles impounded for various offences or risk disposal.
The City of Ekurhuleni (CoE) is calling on the owners of vehicles in the EMPD pound to collect them from December 8 until January 27, 2026.
The city stated that the vehicles were impounded by the EMPD for different offences across the city. To claim these vehicles, the city said that the owners or authorised persons will have to pay the outstanding impoundment, towing, storage, administrative, and any associated costs.
The city also said proof of ownership must be provided, such as vehicle registration documents, an identification card for the owner or collector, and valid photo identification.
If a vehicle remains uncollected and the costs remain unpaid, the city will dispose of it to recover costs incurred.
“This is in line with the National Road Traffic Regulations, 2000 and the National Road Traffic Act 1996 (Act 93 of 1996), Regulation 320 that provides when a vehicle is impounded, and the owner has been traced but fails to collect the vehicle for more than 120 days, it may be sold to defray any costs incurred by the municipality,” said the CoE.

- Alberton Pound, 4 Swartkoppies Road, General Alberts Park
- Boksburg Pound, 43 Reservoir Road, Boksburg
