“I Don't Bribe”: Active Citizenship Takes on Everyday Corruption

Corruption is often discussed in relation to politics and big business, but for many South Africans it plays out in far more everyday moments, particularly on the roads and in routine interactions with law enforcement, where small acts of bribery can quietly become normalised. Feizel Mamdoo speaks to John Maytham about his new Johannesburg-based anti-corruption initiative that aims to challenge this culture from the ground up. The former anti-apartheid activist, film maker, and communications expert has launched the “I Don’t Bribe” campaign, encouraging motorists to take a visible stand against bribery and to commit to responsible, law-abiding behaviour. Built with in-kind support from a designer and donations from members of the public, the campaign includes a windscreen decal carrying a clear message to both motorists and officials, while also promoting road safety by discouraging drivers from using bribes to avoid accountability for traffic offences that could endanger lives. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

The Government says it's modernising the drivers licensing system, with the key change being the end to full license practical tests. After passing the restricted license test, drivers under the age of 25 will have to wait out a mandatory 12-month period as a restricted driver before they can apply for a full licence. Those aged over 25 will have to wait six months. Kiwi motorsport driver and road safety advocate Greg Murphy says he supports some of this, but claims that the Government hasn't gone far enough. "It's not actually meaning we're going to have safer drivers on the road, it just means it's going to cost you a little bit less." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Council Urged Not To Wait For Fatality To Take Action On Clareabbey Road Safety Measures

Clare County Council is being warned not to wait for a fatality to take action on road safety measures at one of the county's busiest junctions. The local authority is progressing plans for an Active Travel Scheme on the Clare Road and Limerick Road in Ennis, which include solutions to long-running problems at the Clareabbey roundabout. The Clareabbey Roundabout has long been one of the most contentious and dangerous junctions in the Ennis–Clarecastle area, raising ongoing concerns for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. Proposed safety measures, as part of the R458 Active Travel Scheme focus, however, on improving cyclist and pedestrian safety with segregated cycle lanes, raised crossings, traffic calming and improved pedestrian links. Frustration has been voiced by some residents though in the wake of a public consultation event held last month, with calls for more ambitious solutions. Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle insists the current proposals would cause major tailbacks on all four arms on one of the county's busiest junctions. The Clarecastle Sinn Féin representative, who's written to the county's Oireachtas members in relation to the matter, believes flyover or underpass options must be examined. The Mayor of Clare welcomes the proposals saying current plans would improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians, but he agrees that the measures would lead to traffic carnage in the area. Clarecastle Fine Gael Councillor Paul Murphy is of the view that solutions for problems at what's he's described as a crucial artery within the county's transport network have been kicked down the road for far too long. He believes, however, local councillors remain united in their call for further options to be explored.
