A civil engineer from Reservoir Hills received a criminal conviction after traffic officers clocked his BMW traveling 217 kilometers per hour in a 120-kilometer-per-hour zone along the N2 highway. Shekendra Bhagwandin, 43, was apprehended on Sept. 28, 2025, near Scottburgh by Road Traffic Inspectorate personnel who noticed his vehicle lacked a front license plate. Provincial transport official Ndabezinhle Sibiya stated the missing plate suggested an effort to bypass automated speed detection systems. Officers T. Simpson and R. Brijlall arrested as part of KwaZulu-Natal's Alufakwa campaign against dangerous motorists.

Bhagwandin entered a guilty plea at Scottburgh Magistrate's Court on Thursday, Oct. 30, 2025, resulting in a 35,000-rand penalty. Magistrates also imposed a 24-month jail term with half the sentence suspended for five years, provided he avoids similar violations. Sibiya praised recent prosecutions as evidence of collaboration between traffic authorities, police, and judicial officials. The province has intensified enforcement amid rising collision rates, with one recent checkpoint producing 13 intoxicated-driver arrests.
