petercool Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Most motor bike taxi groups are in deep with police and they scratch each others backs but when it all gets too blatant and the right people complain, then a stop is put to it - at least publicly.

Gone Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Good that the police caught them however I'm sure the fine will be a lot less then how much they had already scammed. I also meant to say good on the folk that reported them too. Edited December 30, 2013 by Gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emster23 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I figure it is just the "new spirit of volunteerism" that is sweeping the nation. Citizens everywhere rising up and saying "I want to help out. I want a piece of the action. Ask not what your country can take from you, but what you can take from your country!"
