On Special Assignment this week:
Episode Title: Ha Ri Vayi (We Are Not Going)
Date: Tuesday, 10 March 2009
Time: 21h30
Channel: SABC 3
Tonight Special Assignment looks at the controversial bus rapid transit (BRT) system the government plans to roll-out across Gauteng by June this year.
Intended as a major upgrade to our ailing public transport system - the BRT concept has been surrounded by controversy from its inception. Amidst allegations of financial kickbacks, lack of proper consultation and improper planning - the greatest opposition to the system is coming from the multi-million rand taxi industry. The introduction of brt presents a very real threat to the livelihoods of taxi drivers and their bosses.
Protests against the rapid bus transit system - christened the 'reya vaya' (we are going) movement by government - have already taken place across the country, from Port Elizabeth, to Cape Town, to Soweto.
Despite government spending millions on an advertising campaign for the project, it appears there hasn't been buy-in from many of those most affected. Commuters, however, welcome the new system, saying it will change their lives.
Opponents alledge the government did not consult them properly, and that there have been 'buy-outs' of opposing voices in a bid to silence dissent to the idea.
As the final implementation date looms, Special Assignment speaks with those most intimately affected by the BRT, from taxi drivers, to entrepreneurs who make a living hawking at taxi ranks, to those in favour - commuters for whom a daily task like going to work or school, is beset by a myriad of transport-related problems.
Special Assignment is on SABC3 on Tuesdays at 21h30.

Taxi drivers will NEVER agree to anything goverment initiates with respect to public transport. I mean what happened to the taxi recapitilization project?

I am here mokgotsi,i am being genuine,that boy is not only a comedian,but is also brainy.Redi read some emails from listeners after Juju left,and there were those who said they change their minds completely after the interview,they see him in a different light.There is more to this boy than he's given credit for,he might not be the good public speaker but he i also not stupid as the 'so called intellectualls' makes him to be.This boy was well composed and ready for anything.He answered all questioned so ipmressively and calmly,
Juju knows his politics!!!

Loved the interview....gives a fresh perspective of Juju. I can't help wondering if he was given the questions BEFOREHAND?
Redi sounded calmer than usual...

Do you think it ws going to make a difference if he was not given the questions?
Maybe they told Redi not to get over excited.......I'm sure she learned a lot from the Thabo Mbeki interview......
