The South African Motor Body Repairers' Association (SAMBRA) reposted this
Juan Hanekom, national director of the South African Motor Body Repairers’ Association (SAMBRA), a proud association of the Retail Motor Industry Organisation (RMI), states that “Most vehicles stolen by professional thieves have a high value and are never recovered, as they are either stripped for parts and the bodies dumped or re-birthed under new identities". “These written-off vehicles provide the perfect cover for this illegal activity. The severely damaged vehicles are bought on auction to obtain code 2 registration documents which are then used to re-register stolen vehicles. The VIN and engine numbers on the stolen or hijacked vehicle are changed to match the ‘written off’ vehicles’ papers and the scrapped licence plates are used on the stolen car. “For the unsuspecting buyer it is almost impossible to check the validity of his car papers,” Hanekom explained. It time that we collectively push harder for a transparent Vehicle Salvage Database. The South African Insurance Association (SAIA), over to you.

The South African automotive sector is calling for change. SAMBRA is championing the integration of clear vehicle damage codes into the existing eNaTIS framework, creating a robust Vehicle Salvage Database accessible to consumers, dealers, banks, and repairers alike. This initiative is key to ensuring safety, accountability, and consumer confidence in our industry. We’re inviting all stakeholders to join the conversation and drive safety and transparency for South African used car buyers and sellers. #VehicleHistory #AutomotiveSafety #officialSAMBRA
