SA takes jibe at alleged Mthatha extortionist
On Wednesday, a shootout with Mthatha police resulted in three suspects being shot and killed by police.
Mareke, who poured cold water on the widespread extortion claims during an earlier news interview, was identified as one of the men.
Mareke reportedly demanded a protection fee from residents of Mthatha West.
In the wake of the killing, Mzansi social media users toasted the effort by police to combat extortion in the Eastern Cape.
An X user, @Anele5151, posted a clip of three Ethiopian nationals whirring their necks in a pigeon-like dance as they move in a train.
The caption read:
"Kuthiwa o my friend emtata were celebrating last night."
The 20-second video shows the trio looking excited, with one man plastering two R100 notes on his forehead and arm.

The clip was viewed more than 133,000 times and attracted 1100 likes within the first 12 hours. Briefly News looks at the colourful reactions to it.
