TRAFFIC SYSTEM
All ready for eNatis to change hands in a day, high court told
All that is required is ‘for the shareholders to walk away’, according to the Road Traffic Management Corporation
The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) says the handing over of the electronic National Traffic Information System (eNatis) by Tasima can be done in a day and all that is required is "for the shareholders to walk away". The High Court in Pretoria will now need to interpret a Constitutional Court judgment from November in order to rule on a back-and-forth tussle between Tasima and the RTMC. Both sides have traded accusations of contempt of court and blame each other for national traffic registry dysfunction. Tasima maintains a handover of the system could take eight weeks. "What we want to avoid at all costs is a chaotic handover, which the [RTMC] wants and we submit would happen," said advocate Alistair Franklin, SC, for Tasima.
