In what has been billed as a David versus Goliath case, an emerging Pretoria tech company has accused the RTMC of stealing their idea

Johannesburg - A DAVID versus Goliath battle looms after an emerging Pretoria company accused the Road Traffic Management Corporation of stealing their idea for the online booking system. From last year, motorists in Gauteng have been able to make pre-bookings online for the renewal of their driving and learner's licences.

But the system, which was met with excitement by motorists, left a bitter taste in the mouths of Techub, a Pretoria-based company. One of the owners of the company, Herman Mawela, has claimed it developed the online application system in 2016. Mawela added that the company sent emails of the plan to several employees of the RTMC but never received a response. To his dismay, last year he saw an announcement based on what he claimed was his system.
