  • If You Want To Bribe A Cop, Be Aware That R200 Is Just Not Going To Cut It

    Here’s one that may send shivers down the spine for all you serial bribers out there – not every traffic officer can be bought, or at least not for R200.

    Following hot on the heels from the BBC journalists being fleeced and forced to pay a bribe comes this story from the Cape, a woman arrested for trying to pay her way out of a sticky situation. EWN with more:

    The woman had allegedly been speeding outside the Karoo town of Beaufort West earlier today when she was stopped.

    Traffic Chief Kenny Africa said, “Our officers in Beaufort West just arrested a 51-year-old woman for exceeding the speed limit. The fine that she would have got was R700 for the speed offence but instead she offered the officer R200.”

    So what is the cut off point for a bribe then, 50% of the cost of the original fine? Corrupt traffic officers please fill us in, I’m asking for a friend.

    To finish with a laugh here’s an old Nando’s advert that doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Why leave it here when it has almost nothing to do with the story in question? Because it’s a Monday and we could all do with a chuckle, that’s why.
