Straight & 2 Beers: Entice, don’t force the masses

Johannesburg – Foot in mouth disease is common, especially among politicians. It’s a pandemic among the governing class and there’s still no vaccine for it.

When he was transport minister, S’bu Ndebele once said traffic cops would be allowed to confiscate your vehicle if you’re caught driving under the influence and the car would be deemed a weapon.

Indeed his cops did exactly that but the motorists successfully approached the courts and Ndebele’s department was left with a bloody nose.

Frustrated by speeding motorists, Ndebele again put his foot in his mouth when he unilaterally claimed the maximum speed would be lowered to 100km/h from the current 120km/h on freeways.
