Assert Forfeiture Unit : DUI Law

Drunk Drivers Car gets consfiscated

South Africa Western Cape: A radical new proposal by the Assert Forfeiture Unit (AFU) has emerged under the prevention of Organized Crime Act that recommends the state to confiscate cars driven by the drunk drivers.

This follows two cases involving the Seizure of cars.

The first one is; Western Cape resident Benjamin Kleinbooi to have his car a Corolla confiscated, while he was drunk driving three years ago, now first charged under this law.

The second is a repeat offender Lewis, driving a car in April this year. His wife stands to loose her car for allowing her 10 times convicted (mainly DUI charges) who’s licensed was revoked in 1997, to drive her car. This news report sourced out from

It is well known that some of the responsibility of drunk driving blamed upon those who are found associated with it.

It is a teenage or underage people their parents, or the party host or whoever supply them with those drinks also made party responsible. Even If a adult caught drunk driving retuning from a pub the owner made partly responsible.(Following this logic I just wonder is there any possibility of making all the party hosts, organizers, or the home owners responsible for those get drunk in their places and then caught while driving under influence (DUI) back home!)

Now the ‘Assert Forfeiture Unit’ go one step further in declaring the drunk driven car is a “instrument of offence” The banks who loan to purchasing the car also warned of their responsibility not to fiancé the DUI offender so to check the DUI record of the person before financing.

However no one cares to question about main source who supply or sell these high alcohol content drink for the public that causes almost all these drunk driving and most importantly its accidents?

The authorities would not want to put the blame on the alcohol industry because it is very powerful and they themselves have their own misconduct share (stake) in it! Therefore they mislead the public by putting the entire DUI blame on the drunk drivers who are the alcohol beguiled vulnerable gullible people the DUI scapegoats!

I have explained this matter in so many of my blog post in this month and the last month citing many of the DUI news reports. To know more on this subject matter read the following most important papers in my blog WebPages:
