Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The South African Banking Risk Information Centre (SABRIC), said banknotes (Rands) that were stolen from ATMs during the recent civil unrest in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng are useless.<\/p>\n

In a statement, SABRIC said hundreds of ATMs were vandalised during the violence and looting and a lot of cash was stolen in the mayhem. It said:<\/p>\n

ATMs hold cash in special containers that protect cash with dye-stain technology that is activated when someone tries to break open the container.<\/p>\n

Once activated, the cash is stained with a green dye, thus defacing the notes, rendering them unusable as currency.<\/p>\n

The stained notes are recognised as having no monetary value once they are stained.<\/p>\n

People who are in possession of these notes make themselves suspects of a criminal investigation that will seek to determine if they were involved in the stealing and unauthorised access of these ATM containers.<\/p>\n

SABRIC has noticed an increase in the attempted circulation of dye-stained notes in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng, following the destruction of multiple ATMs.<\/p>\n

SABRIC warned businesses and members of the public not to accept these dye-stained notes as legal tender as the onward use and value of these notes will not be honoured. SABRIC CEO Nischal Mewalall wieghed in:<\/p>\n

You may also find yourself out of pocket after releasing goods or performing services because you will not be able to utilise the currency you were paid with.<\/p>\n

In addition, you also run the risk of being investigated, arrested, and prosecuted for the destruction of these ATMs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
