Twenty-Six Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI) officers promoted to higher ranks.

Twenty-Six Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI) officers have made strides in their profession and got promoted to higher ranks. The former thirteen male and thirteen female Provincial Inspectors (PI’s) were honoured with their new Principal Provincial Inspector (PPI) epaulettes today (18 August 2021), at the Traffic Training College.

Among the newly promoted were eight Principal Provincial Inspectors at the Empangeni Region, eight Principal Provincial Inspectors at the Durban Region, one Principal Provincial Inspector at the Pietermaritzburg Region, three Principal Provincial Inspectors at the Traffic Training College and lastly, six Principal Provincial Inspectors at the Ladysmith Region.

The twenty-six Principal Provincial Inspectors will undergo a month training programme from 30 August 2021 and assume their duties at their appointed stations on 01 October 2021.

Congratulating the 26 officers, RTI Head Victor Chetty said it was befitting for them to be promoted and it was first in the history of RTI and the KZN Department of Transport to appoint so many officials in the management level.

“I welcome you all to junior management. You deserve to be appointed. Also, as part of recognising Women’s Month, we appreciate that women empowerment is another important aspect in the Department’s development programme.

So, for us as RTI, it is an honour to have so many women leading and becoming visible in the management. You have worked hard and done your part in terms of your recruitment process, so I therefore say congratulations to you all and let’s devote ourselves as a team towards making the Department of Transport a sector of Transportation that is great again,” said Chetty.
