eMalahleni – A Mpumalanga man has finally been arrested after allegedly bribing traffic cops across the province with counterfeit R200 notes – costing the province a staggering R200 million in lost integrity, fuel, and moral compass last year alone.
The 42-year-old suspect, known on the streets as Skhothane MacGyver, reportedly travelled up and down the N4 and R40 in a faded Toyota Cressida, armed with nothing but his confidence, a stapler, and an unlimited supply of Monopoly-grade fake R200 notes printed at what investigators describe as “a suspiciously busy printing shop behind a fish and chips in KwaGuqa.”
According to sources close to the investigation, Skhothane MacGyver began his “side hustle” in 2022 when he realised two things:
1. Most traffic cops can’t tell the difference between a real R200 note and one printed on glossy cardboard with Cyril Ramaphosa’s face wearing lipstick.
2. If you act like you’re late for a funeral or a cousin’s lobola negotiation, nobody asks questions.
