Did you receive a traffic fine? Ag Shame. At least they were in Obs. Unfortunately after much research Metro has a dedicated Displaced person unit with only Three staff members for the whole of Cape Town. They will get round to us. Please report this to Specialised Services *Toll free Number 0800225669*. Get a reference number and hold them to it.
If no satisfactory answer then contact Cedric Thomas, our ward councillor, to escalate it.
