Haaa uyu ngaamborara mukati first. From roadport to airport which bush could he have gone?
Its a staged robbery

@HillaryMusarurw;

Honestly how do you go to relieve yourself in the bushes with such a large sum of money? How pressed was he that he couldn’t wait till he got to the airport?

@NicksonMpofu;

A man with $7000 went to relieve himself in a bushy area, an area well known to be a haven of tsotsis . He failed to pay 50c at a pay toilet.
