The Bottom of the Week with Tyrone Fisher: Citrus supremacy to cashless taxis and marathon road closures

This week’s The Bottom of the Week with Tyrone Fisher takes a humorous look at South Africa officially becoming the world’s largest citrus exporter by volume, with Tyrone questioning why local shoppers still end up with the worst-looking mandarins despite the country’s global success. The conversation also turns to the Cape Town taxi industry’s move toward cashless payments and increased surveillance through onboard cameras, alongside the Transport Department’s crackdown on fraudulent learner’s licences and corruption at testing centres. Tyrone also weighs in on the return of the Cape Town Marathon, the inevitable road closures across the city, and Cape Town’s obsession with distance running. Tyrone speaks to Lester Kiewit about the week’s biggest stories, blending satire, social commentary and everyday South African frustrations.   Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit is a podcast of the CapeTalk breakfast show.  This programme is your authentic Cape Town wake-up call.
