@sukhanasister, I think I will have to post an article to explain the way things work in the South Africa of the so-called Rainbow Nation. Put in short: it seems that all public servicemen gets paid a salary to be public servicemen. However, to get them to do something to actually help other people, they need a bribe. People working in the private sector, however, usually do kindnesses when they can without asking for payment. This is a generalisation, but bribery and corruption in South Africa are rife.
