"Let's make that reward R20 000 - I will reach from my pocket once credible information has been obtained,"
@Tshiamomologoa commented:
"I'll add R2 000 on top of that R20 000."
@WillGumede also said:
"Bank account, please, so we can up the ransom! It must be more than the lousy amount the animals will get for the stolen car. That way, the animals might even turn on one another."
