Two recent court cases have earned the attention of newspaper readers in South Africa:

1. One person was fined R1 000 for not having a TV licence.
2. Another was released on bail for R500 after being arrested for murder.

The moral of this uniquely South African story:

If you do not have a TV licence and the inspector comes round, kill him. You’ll save R500.

I know. I know some people who want to kill him anyway – just because of all the junk they’re showing on TV nowadays.
