Malawi police have arrested two women in their mid-20s after they used kwacha bank notes as decorations for a cake they had baked and posted it on social media.
A police spokesman said the pair had posted the image of the cake festooned with 70 500-kwacha notes – worth $35 (£28) on social media as they advertised their cake-making business.
The accused have not commented on their arrest but police say they will be charged with an offence of “damaging and unlawful use of currency”. This is contained in a report published by The Star.
