The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department's patrol vehicles are off the road due to the absence of a “required interim fleet appointment”, says Afrirent Fleet management company.Afrirent said it wrote a letter to the city's executive seeking to address the absence of a working/contractual relationship.
“Since the expiry of the contract, Afrirent has acted in good faith, we have been very patient with the city and responsive to the challenges faced by the city by keeping the vehicles running. However, our lawyers have advised that we are in serious contravention of the Municipal Finance Act and Supply Chain regulations,” the company wrote.
As a result, all vehicles operating in the 12 user departments and entities are grounded effective midnight on Wednesday, November 12. “As stated by our lawyers in clause 7.1 of the letter referred to, our formal appointment with the city expired at the end of October 2022. Subsequent to that, engagements by Afrirent to resolve the same have been futile, including promises by the city to revert to Afrirent with a consideration for a price escalation by Monday, November 21.”
