CAPE TOWN — A local man recovered a two-rand coin from his couch on Thursday and, for a brief window, believed himself to be President Cyril Ramaphosa. Officials have confirmed he is not. The coin, warm from the cushion, was not foreign currency concealed in furniture, and no buffalo changed hands. This is not Phala Phala. No inquiry is pending. The man will not address the nation at 20:00. He has been asked to put on pants. The R2 is his — the single presidential-adjacent fact of his day, and only just.
You are just a man who found R2 in your couch. You are not Ramaphosa.
