Take this one, for instance. Two Swedish tourists threaten to spread the word that people should never visit South Africa, especially not George.
This comes after Jonas Nilsson was granted permission to rent a car in Cape Town using his Swedish drivers license, but in George a Municipal Traffic Official (why can’t we call the guys speed cops anymore like in the good old day?) decided that the license was invalid, fining him R500 for ‘driving without a license’.
Nilsson and his fiancé, only known as Sanna, lodged a complaint with the George Executive Mayor, Charles Standers. Sanna said that she’s a co-owner of a Swedish newspaper and will write about the incident to stop tourists from visiting.
The couple said they feel the traffic official treated them badly and Nilsson wasn’t given the opportunity to explain himself.
Now there we go again…
