Fight against bribes
Bribery, is an act of implying money or gift giving that alters the behaviour of the recipient. Bribery constitutes a crime.It includes the offering and receiving of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in charge of a public or legal duty.
A man was arrested after he allegedly tried to bribe a metro police officer on the N1, near Lynnwood, Tshwane metro police said on Monday 16 April 2012. Spokesman Console Tleane said the 30-year-old man was stopped on Monday morning because his vehicle's front number plate was not attached.
“Even before the officer could issue a fine, the driver tried to give the officer a R100 note....” The man was arrested and taken to the Garsfontein Police Station. - Sapa. link. I would like to thank the police official who did the right thing. Other police officials should learn from this good example.It starts with only one person to change the world.

Corrupt police all over the country are accepting bribes from drivers, but what justice is it doing to our country? Accidents are increasing every day in our roads and yet we find police officials on the streets. What is their job? does their job description include letting unfit drivers with no drivers licences drive and accept bribes from them? does it include letting drivers with unfit vehicles drive on our roads?. Police officials get paid so y are they doing this?. This leads to greediness. A R100 note is not worth losing the people we daily love.
hey the subject of money is very very dificult to deal with because people love money so much that they compromise thier values for petty cash,and don't get me started about the police and corruption that is all they know how to do best
ReplyDeleteHey, the police love money so much that they foget their work values.
Deletewell done to our police officer,He really did a good job and this show that not all police officers are crocks.This story reminds me when i was from in January when a traffic cop wanted to be bribed for an over load,He did not want his collegues to notice that he was bribed so he told our drive to drop the money in the bushes near where they were working at, so our driver did not drop it and said "he is crazy why he did not give me a ticket if I am wrong"
ReplyDeletelol your driver did the right thing , i mean the police officer knew that what he was doing was wrong so thats why he wanted the money to be droped in the bushes
DeleteBribery is becoming part of our everyday lives because it seems like every time a person does something wrong they can pay up and forget about it as if in never happened. It is becoming a 'Culture' now. I mean if seven teenagers can gang-rape a 17 years old girl and pay bail, lol it is going to end up in the bill of rights that rape is excepted or even bribery!
ReplyDeleteThats true , South Africans are making bribery a culture. It has to stop.
Deletebribery doesnt solve matters but because its money and bribes people, it works everytime.
ReplyDeleteIt does solve matters in some cases and it also does not solve anything instead it makes matters worse. Why do we have the law if we gona break it and rely on bribery?
Deletesome pipul care about money nje nthing els
ReplyDeleteThats true but they must also think about other peoples lives.
DeleteBribes are great people no, what if yo are cought in a situation wereby you have to choose to pay a R500 fine or just bribe the police men with R50? Some of us do not have lots of money so please think for us
ReplyDeleteI understand your situation but the question is why don't you follow the rules?
