(d) based on three or more incidents, has failed to use or employ suitably qualified drivers or used drivers who do not hold the required professional driving permits in terms of the National Road Traffic Act;
(e) is the subject of negative complaints against that operator from a planning authority or from passengers or other interested persons that indicate that such cancellation is justified; or
(f) on failure to comply with any other prescribed requirement.

 

(2) Before taking a decision to cancel an operator's accreditation, the National Public Transport Regulator must—
(a) give the operator written notice of the reasons why it intends to cancel it;
(b) give the operator a reasonable time, which shall be not less than 14 days, to submit representations or comments; and
(c) consider those representations or comments, if any have been submitted.

 

(3) On cancellation of an operator's accreditation, the National Public Transport Regulator must remove that operator's name from the register kept in terms of section 81(7) and such an operator must submit to the National Public Transport Regulator for cancellation his or her certificate of accreditation and all operating licences, tokens, tags, or other equipment issued by that Regulator to that operator within 14 days of cancellation of that operator's accreditation.
