Let's see. You have AA cops taking home what, R5000-R7000 a month? They see ANC elite creaming it, becoming disgustingly wealthy through rather obvious and blatant corruption (trust me, they know). They can read (well, some of them) and they talk among themselves. Yet there they are. A better life has not emerged. They wuz promised eish, ah ma suffaring. They try the whole law and order thing for a while but it doesn't pay well. They arrest the odd perp and he just buys his way out the same day. Someone else down the food chain got the extra bucks to let him go. They figure, wtf, let's join the party. It's a free-for-all.
This is all for show. I guarantee these cops will be back at work next week.
A police sting in Mpumalanga saw traffic officers in full uniform being arrested on suspicion of accepting bribes on Saturday morning.
Police reacting to a tip-off that bribing was taking place at a weighbridge station near Kinross arranged for truck drivers to hand over money while they were present.
"We just appeared in front of them while they were still holding the money and arrested them in front of their colleagues," said organised crime unit spokesperson Captain Leonard Hlathi.
He said police immediately closed the weighbridge station and started arresting staff, including senior traffic officers.
They were not asked to plead to charges of corruption when appearing in the Evander magistrate's court on Monday and were released on R5 000 bail each.
The case was postponed to April 13 for further investigation.
"We want to send a stern warning to all weighbridge officials that should they be caught taking bribes and allowing people to break the law, we will act harshly against them," said Hlathi.

On a slightly different note, please be careful with possessions of sentimental value when you move from Joburg. Your really valuable stuff you don't entrust to removal companies, you move that yourself of course.
The guys working for removal companies are so out to get at whites that they will even steal framed photographs of your relatives up to and including old photos of your grandparents with your mother and aunt. It was just a small silver plated frame so there was little in it for them other than spite. Also missing were other nice things of a personal nature that anyone could work out does not have much value to the person who steals it, but has strong sentimental value.
They pinch valuable stuff as well but not so much as personal things. The best is to move all your paintings, art, pictures, photos, anything of sentimental or which is irreplaceable, yourself in your car. It goes without saying that you should never let them near your personal papers such as university degrees or god forbid, your EU passport.
I was stuck with three big bottles of gas in my car which removal companies are not allowed to move themselves so I was cramped for space.
Don't use a company called Premium Removals, the white guy in charge was only too happy to tell me afterwards how much worse off other clients of his are, and how much more was stolen from them than from me. He really couldn't give a stuff, blames it on the general attitude. He wasn't doing any supervising himself which should have alerted me that he couldn't give a damn. Told me to go and charge his workers if I didn't like it. There are whites who are making excuses for being slapgat with all the crime going on. They are contributing to it.
Coming back to the corrupt traffic cops story: they are probably out already and the whole arrest was a PR farce.
