I was shuttled through to Karma in Camps Bay on Saturday night to check out the vibe with the B2R Team in the B2R Truck.

Something that I found very clever was the stamps that Karma give you upon entrance. Most nightclubs just give you a regular stamp with the name of the club, or some other random stamp. Karma have got a very clever idea though tied in with Rikkis Cabs.

Check out the stamp below:

Stamped on my strong and powerful wrist 

It’s not too clear as I started showering, then realised I needed a photo of the stamp, so some had washed off. But it says “Don’t drink and drive. Call a Rikkis” The number of Rikkis is also then printed on there, but I can’t quite make it out.

I think it’s a great idea that nightclubs promote the use of cabs so we don’t have a whole lot of drunk people driving around Cape Town, endangering their lives and other peoples lives. It’s such a simple idea, but I thought it was really clever, and if it can reduce the number of drunk drivers on the roads, then it can only be a good thing. Rikkis have definitely done a lot for reducing drunk driving in Cape Town, with some clubs having phones you can use for free to call Rikkis and organise a cab.

This public service announcement is brought to you by SLXS in the hope that you will still drink excessively…and then NOT drive yourself.
