The funny snap
Heading to his Twitter account, avid social media user @AdvoBarryRoux shared the silly picture that's got everyone talking. It seems members of the Eastern Cape Government shared a generous donation with a local enterprise, Bask & Sons.
"I give up," he captioned the post, along with a few laughing and crying emojis.
While at first glance, everything appears quiet in order, a closer look at the large bank cheque reveals some very irregular spelling.
Social media reactions
The post reminded many social media users of President Jacob Zuma's very own struggle with pronouncing lengthy numbers. Naturally, Mzansi was left laughing and couldn't help wondering which amount was actually awarded to the small business.
