| This are some of the taxi's that are operating with fake certificate. |
Traffic officers have discovered a building in down town Johannesburg that makes fake certificates that taxis need in order for them to be able to operate on the road read more. This building was discovered by a traffic officer who pretended to be a taxi owner who wants to buy the fake certificate. We all know that down town is famous for its various scandals, but who could have thought of a scandal like this.
What I want to know is that do these taxi owners realize how many lives they are putting in danger just because they greed and do not want to pay for the original documents. I having been always asking myself that why if the is an accident that involves a taxi most of time the taxi driver is nowhere to be found, you will never find the driver at the scene. So I guess is it because they are using fake documents?
From a communicating point of view I that the department of transport is not doing their job because if they were doing their jobs they would have recognized that there is a certain number of taxis that are travelling on the road and the is a certain of taxis that are not paying for their certificate and would have made a research.
we live in corrupt country nowadys you find that traffic cops taking money from such people who want to make money the essay way
ReplyDeleteI think that maybe that is the reason why the transport deparment did not realise that they taxis using fake document because traffic officers take bribe from this drivers and give back a false report back to the department.
ReplyDeleteBy looking at the taxi in the picture you can conclude by saying the taxi is on no condition to be operating on the roads... big ups to that traffic cop who atleats saved our lives by investigating and acting immediatley before negative image came to them
ReplyDeleteYes it is true you can just see that the taxi is in no condition to be on the road the is no need for any testing to be done and well done to the traffic officers.
Deletei realy dont think that the department of transport is reliable for this because there are lots of taxi owners and am sure that the department would not be able to keep up with all these taxis that are on the road
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree with you, yes the is a lot of taxis on the road but it is they duty to make sure that they all have the right documents to use the road.
DeleteWe really would not know who to blame, because you may find that the government or justice system was not aware. Drasric action has to be taken because really people's lives are at stake.
ReplyDeleteMaybe do not know who to blame but the main fact is that the transport department is not doing their job so who do we blame now the transport department or the taxi owners.
DeleteDrastic action, I mean.
DeleteWell the transport department is to blame but we cannot only blame them, the traffic officers are also involved and are to be blamed as they are the ones who take bribes and not realising that they are solwly but surely destroying our country and its image
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you the transport department and the traffic officers are to be blamed.
DeleteI think perhaps these is caused by the long process that you must take in order for your certificate to be successfully and also it might be that it's expensive to apply for it.On the other hand there is high rate of unemployment in SA therefore people will do anything that will be an easier way to them to make ends meet.Lastly the Transport Deaprtment should now have a dialogue with the Taxi association regarding on how to better the situation within the Taxi industry.
ReplyDeleteYes it is true that the documents take time and are expensive but that doesnot give taxi owners the right to risk with peoples lives.
ReplyDeleteCorruption is everywhere, where there money something stinky must flow. How will corruption be fight while no heavy justice is served.
ReplyDeleteThemba what you are syaing is that we need heavy justice so that we can decrease corruption in our country.

ReplyDeleteCorruption is everywhere in our country the question is what are we doing about it, and what would you as a PRP for the taxi association do?
ReplyDeleteAs a prp i would have to start by building a good image of the taxi industry before i would deal with the corruption that is taking place in the taxi industry.
DeleteI put the blame to those who produced those illegal certificates.This is a serious issue that need to be taken into account because it creates bad image for South African taxi industries.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, you have a valid point if we were looking for someone to blame we should blame those we are producing the documents.
DeleteTaxi trivers only care about thier lives and recieving our money thats it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with money comes first and then then peoples live. I do not think that they even think about people lives the way they are acting.
Deletei think that the only thing that taxi drivers care about is our money forgeting that they need us as passages to get that money.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you with out us taxi drivers will get any money it seems like they are forgetting that.
DeleteI say there has always been corruption within the taxi industry so I think It was just about for these to be exposed.
ReplyDeleteI also think that it was about time for them to be exposed and i believe that the is more to be exposed.
Deletewow i realy did not know about that but anyway its about time we even bought our own transport as their taxis are even not in good conditions,they just want our money and do not car about anything else.
ReplyDeletePublic transport is the transport that most South Africa’s rely on. I also wish I could buy my own transport when I think about using public transport.
DeleteSouth Africa is full of corruption. Nothing shocks me anymore.. The worst possible crimes are right here in SA and now corruption is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteYes south africa is full of corruption it does seem like corruption is the only forawd.
