 Road Fund Powers Traffic Case Reform in Lesotho

Lesotho’s justice system is stepping into the digital era with the official handover of the Automated Traffic Justice System (ATJS) from the Road Fund to key justice sector stakeholders — the Judiciary, the Lesotho Mounted Police Service (LMPS), and the Prosecution.

Developed by Engidata and funded by the Road Fund, the ATJS is a fully integrated digital platform aimed at modernising the management of traffic offences. The system replaces outdated manual processes with a streamlined, transparent, and efficient digital workflow — a major leap forward for traffic law enforcement in the country.

The handover ceremony, held at Avani Lesotho yesterday, marked a key milestone in Lesotho’s broader digital transformation agenda in the justice sector.

A Modern Tool for Modern Justice

The ATJS connects directly to LMPS’s Electronic Spot Fine (eSpot fine) system — first introduced in 2019 — which allows police officers to issue, track, and manage spot fines electronically, removing geographic barriers and reducing paperwork.

To date, the Road Fund has invested over M25 million in developing and implementing this digital justice infrastructure.

Speaking at the ceremony, Road Fund CEO ‘Matšepang Sekhokoana said the system is anchored on three pillars: integration, efficiency, and transparency.

“This system closes the gap between police, prosecutors, and the courts. It enables real-time case tracking, reduces delays, and minimizes the risk of lost files — all of which are key to restoring public trust in the justice process,” she said.

Sekhokoana further assured that while the system is now in the hands of the Judiciary, the Road Fund remains committed to supporting it whenever needed.

Judiciary, Police Commit to Integrity

Commissioner of Police Borotho Matsoso applauded the long-standing collaboration with the Road Fund and affirmed the LMPS’s commitment to protecting the integrity of the system.

“We’ve been partners since the early stages of this initiative. As it now transitions to the courts, we promise to maintain and safeguard it,” said Matsoso.

He also urged the public to cooperate by refraining from offering bribes to police officers, encouraging citizens to allow the system to function as intended.

Representing the Judiciary, Advocate ‘Mathato Sekoai, Registrar of the High Court and Court of Appeal, welcomed the handover and reaffirmed the courts’ dedication to operationalizing the system effectively.

“We intend to ensure the ATJS is not only sustainable but impactful. We’re determined to prove that digital systems can succeed where others have failed. This is a clear message that Lesotho is ready to embrace reform,” she said.

A New Era for Traffic Law Enforcement

The ATJS is expected to significantly reduce case backlogs, ensure better communication between institutions, and ultimately bring about a faster, fairer, and more accountable system for handling traffic violations.

With this handover, Lesotho signals a strong commitment to justice sector reform — one where technology plays a central role in delivering timely and transparent outcomes.
