The Land Transport Amendment Act
which came into effect on Monday will see about 400 drivers losing their
passenger-class licences because of previous convictions of a sexual nature. Most of them were convicted
decades back for having underage sex. They cannot, and should not, be put in
the same class as hardened sex criminals. By taking back their licences, you
are not only destroying their livelihood but also their families. For decades
it was all right for them to drive and suddenly they have become
untouchables. It is all right not to allow hardened sex criminals behind the
wheel of a public transport carrier. But this is a different scenario. I hope that the Government reviews
the law and gives them back their licences.
