Traffic fine roadshow heads to Brackenfell

13 May 2026

The event is open to the general public from Saturday, 16 May until Friday, 22 May. This time, the event will also be open on a Sunday. Residents are reminded that they can seek assistance with municipal accounts too.

The roadshows make the often arduous task of fine and warrant representations across different magisterial districts far easier, by offering all services at a single service point.

It brings together the City’s Traffic Service, Revenue Department, Municipal Court representatives and other internal departments. Members of the public can:

Pay outstanding traffic fines
Enquire about fines for vehicles registered in their name
Apply for a reduction in fines issued within the City’s jurisdiction
Enquire about and finalise warrants or summonses
Remove administrative marks on the NaTIS system
Enquire about municipal rates and services accounts
Apply for indigent or pensioner rebates

The previous roadshow in Athlone in March had more than 3 600 people queuing to finalise reductions in traffic fines and warrants to the value of nearly R16 million.

This time, the roadshow will take place at the Brackenfell Civic Centre at the corner of Old Paarl and Paradys Street on the following dates:

Friday, 15 May 2026: Open to City staff and public members with bulk representations (20 or more fines per public visitors).
Saturday, 16 May 2026: Open to all members of the public.
Sunday, 17 May 2026: Open to all members of the public.
Monday 18 - Friday 22 May 2026: Open to all members of the public

‘The roadshows bring services closer to the public and offer an alternative to the rigidity of the system that, on a normal day, requires representations to be made at specific courts. We do everything possible to have them as frequently as resources allow. It is quite the logistical exercise and we thank all staff members and departments who have a hand in what has become an incredibly popular service,’ said Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith.

The event will start at 08:30 on all days – the end time will be determined by roadshow coordinators, based on demand and their ability to assist everyone in the queue.

Persons still in the queue at cut-off time will receive tickets to be seen to first the following day.
