Makhosini Msibi, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC), has been placed on precautionary suspension by the RTMC Board of Directors following their meeting on June 13, 2025.
The suspension took effect on July 1, 2025.
Deputy Minister of Transport Mkhuleko Hlengwa, delegated shareholder responsible for RTMC, has been officially notified of the precautionary suspension.
Msibi’s suspension is initially for 30 days, with the possibility of extension to 60 days or longer if deemed necessary.
In their communication to the Ministry, the Board cited whistleblowing allegations involving financial misconduct, irregular expenditure, and governance lapses as reasons for their decision.
Consequently, the Board has initiated a forensic investigation to address these serious allegations.
Last December, News24 reported that Mr. Msibi had received R10.1 million in earnings for the year, which included a R3.9 million performance bonus.
The Board has also informed the Ministry of the appointment of Refilwe Mongale as Interim Chief Executive Officer, effective July 1, 2025, until further notice.
