Man wakes up to find R2.8-million in bank account
What a way to wake up...
Money coming into your bank account by mistake is not something that usually happens.
But for one man, it was a real shocker to find a large sum of money in his bank account.
Urslaan Khan had just £1 in his bank account when he went to sleep and when he woke up he found £122,000 (R2.8-million) in his account.
Now, that is one shocking thing to find. As we know in South Africa, the consequences are real when you just go ahead with life without saying anything about that money.
Case in point, Sibongile Mani, the student who received a large sum into her bank account by mistake and used the money.
But Khan was responsible and contacted the bank when he noticed the money in his account.
"Urslaan claims when he had first rang the bank, they told him the money was his although he thought it was meant for another customer leaving him delighted." (Manchester Evening News)
He was confused by the bank's communication. Later he found out that the bank had found their mistake and it was in fact someone else's money.
Khan did the right thing and returned the money.

Khan admitted that had he kept the money he would've been set up for life.
He would never have told anyone if he did choose to keep the money. But, luckily, all that didn't happen and he is in the clear.
