Fabricated story about SA woman bust with counterfeit money

Anti-migrant sentiment in South Africa continues to spread on social media as the country prepares for national elections this year. Posts have emerged claiming that an image shows an elderly woman arrested for using counterfeit money she had received from her Nigerian future son-in-law. This is false: police confirmed the claim was fabricated while the image stems from an unrelated raid in 2021.
