Mzansi suggests other ways to use money
After seeing the video, social media users advised the guy on how he should have taped his R200 note and where to take it if he wanted to change it. While many people suggested the bank, others had tricks on their sleeves.
User @jaketotum suggested:
"Taxi driver will change for you. Remember to occupy front seat for quick response."
User @black_barbie310 said:
"Just go to Shoprite/Spar, take something and eat it, and go to the till and say I’m here to pay. They will take it whether they like or not because you’ve already opened their product, and it has to be paid 🤣"
User @user9928452750387Michael came with another plan:
"🤣🤣 Try use a glue with a chopboard. The one that looks like a glass. Press your note flat both sides, then glue it, atm perfect😊😊"
User @andiswa_ndzube advised on the correct way to use sticky tape, detailing:
"Use the tape on one side of the note, and close that small gap in between the pieces."
Use @prudentle shared a startling comment:
"I once got a fake note from an ATM 😭 Bank refused to take it, I just took a taxi with it."
User @patty_t5 shared
"Take it to Capitec branch or any bank. They will take it and deposit it into your account."
