K'ching!!!
Ayanda Dlondlo, Head of Gauteng's department of community safety; "the three metro police services in Gauteng had to focus on speed law enforcement because it is an important source of revenue for the relevant municipality". News24.com - Wednesday, 9 March 2005 The above statement does not surprise me at all… I'm disappointed perhaps… but not surprised at all. And why the hell should it surpise me? Why would road safety and the safety of drivers and passengers take precedence when there is money to be made from it? Why prevent the offence from being committed in the first place when there is no money to be made from doing so. Oh sure, you kill a few people here and there, but who says life has to be just and fair. And besides, the sound of money in the till makes it all better. Sigh... Ignorance truly is bliss. Go figure!!!
