The broadcaster opened the lines for listeners to give a detailed account of how they got away with
no fine by bribing the police. The broadcaster encouraged the listeners to share their stories by promising to give the best bribe story a R200.00 voucher. The complainant alleged that such practice glamorises unlawful conduct. There was an omission of a warning to listeners not to try and repeat the bribery stories they heard on air. The incentive of giving a R200.00 voucher to the best bribe story led to the contravention of clause 14(ii) of the BCCSA Code by the broadcaster. The sanction imposed was a reprimand.
