Driving school owners protest against traffic officials increasing bribery fees from R1 700 to R2 000

Pretoria - Mpumalanga driving school owners have openly demonstrated against “greedy” traffic officials, who had planned to increase bribery fees from R1 700 to R2 000 per student in need of a driving licence.

The protest at the Mbombela Local Municipality offices in Mbombela on Friday saw the school owners preventing workers from entering the premises.

Community members were shocked that the protest was not against the bribes traffic officers demanded to produce favourable results for driving school students, but against the increment of the bribery fees.

“Isn’t it shocking that the bribery of traffic officials has become legal? The protesters themselves are guilty of a crime. They, and corrupt traffic officials, belong behind bars,” said one motorist.

It's the African way, the culture of the people.

“There is a chain of corrupt bosses at the top, including politicians in municipal offices. They receive a collective share daily; that’s why it’s difficult to investigate one particular official.”

Lekker Transformation, BEE and AA.

You thought we were kidding when we shout "Where did you buy your license?" when a taxi cuts you off on the road.

It's a referral request

You see it even more when there is load shedding and traffic lights are out, no clue what to do, just drive right through, I had one person in his fancy car almost drive into me from the right , did not stop or even slow down.
Still looks at me as though I'm at fault.

LOL - a referral request.

Then in Midrand, we got some taxi drivers driving landy's, BMW's, Audi's and the likes. Robot at summerhill school is completely ignored unless there is car coming from the school side. I have noticed at least 3 such intersections in addition.
