The Sunday, 21 June episode of Carte Blanche delves into an increasing issue on South Africa’s highways, where numerous cloned license plates are being utilized on vehicles nationwide.
These counterfeit plates are frequently associated with illegal activities, ranging from aiding drivers in dodging speeding tickets to masking stolen cars.
Conducting undercover operations, the investigative show revealed unscrupulous vendors who brazenly market cloned plates, which raises alarming questions about how easily they are accessible to criminals.
The inquiry also probes whether those manufacturing and distributing these fake plates are providing offenders a means to elude justice and possibly facilitating more severe crimes, such as murder.
