According to a report on The Citizen’s website the Sanral spokesman, Vusi Mona was talking to Gushwell Brooks, host of Talk at 9 on Radio 702 and Cape Talk when Brooks read out a question from a listener by the name of ‘Dianna’ when he made the comment.

She asked, “How do I as a road user know that I’m not being scammed, because there’s a lot of people who will jump on the bandwagon and try to scam you?”

Mona’s answered, “Very easy. Raise your IQ a little bit…”

His response raised the ire of JPSA chair Howard Demobovsky who demanded, “Are you suggesting that South Africans are stupid?”
