I had that happen in Capetown. It was cheap enough I was happy to pay the guy and be done with it. I'd feel differently if I was local, but I also obviously looked like a tourist, had an American accept etc.

This is everywhere in South Africa. It annoys people but it's not worth making a fuss over. It's clearly extortion but it's so widespread for so many years that it's de-facto legal.
