30/05/2007 09:05 - (SA)
Johannesburg - The Department of Transport is bringing an urgent interdict against Beeld newspaper to stop a story about the controversial eNatis system, said the newspaper on Tuesday night.
Beeld investigative reporter Adriaan Basson said the newspaper had got hold of a section of one of the Auditor-General's reports on the electronic National Transport Information System (eNatis) and on Tuesday morning asked the department to comment on it.
Beeld agreed to give the department until Wednesday to comment, but at about 19:00 on Tuesday Beeld was told that the department had brought the action to stop publication.
"The report is specifically about the security of eNatis," said Basson.
The matter is due to be heard in the Pretoria High Court on Wednesday afternoon.
