eMalahleni – Just when authorities thought they had seen the last of him, Skhothane MacGyver — the notorious Mpumalanga man who single-handedly destabilized the province’s bribery economy using counterfeit R200 notes — has pulled off what SAPS is calling “Season 2 of his criminal Netflix special.”
After being arrested this week week for bribing traffic cops with fake money and costing the province nearly R200 million in fake-friendly fines, Skhothane MacGyver was granted bail on Monday morning — a decision the magistrate now regrets “with the weight of a thousand fake fivers.”
The bail was set at R5,000, and witnesses say Mr. MacGyver paid it on the spot with a thick wad of “freshly-printed” R200 notes that still smelled like Pritt glue and printer ink.
Court clerk Thandi Mokoena told reporters: “I saw the notes and thought, ‘Eish, this man is serious.’ But then one of them had a picture of a cow wearing sunglasses and another one said ‘Two Hunnid Rends’ in crayon. I should’ve said something. But honestly, I just wanted to go on lunch.”.
