The New Scam Catching South African Drivers - Episode #163

from Daily Bagel · host Bagel Media

In Today's Show: South Africans are being targeted by a new wave of official-looking scam messages as the new traffic fine system rolls out and confusion does the work for fraudsters. Far out in the Atlantic, Saint Helena has slipped back into isolation after its only commercial flights were grounded, cutting the island off once again. In business, Bidvest Bank’s R2.8-billion sale has collapsed. We also look at fibre’s quiet expansion, the Post Office’s rescue running out of road, and why Johannesburg’s altitude still shapes daily life.More From Us:⁠Whatsapp Channel⁠ ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠
