A 26-year-old man was fined R15,000 on Wednesday for putting up posters advertising services for illegal abortions, Johannesburg metro police said.
The man was putting the posters up at the Baragwanath taxi rank in Soweto, Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said.
He was advertising for illegal abortions at R350 per person.
"If the man fails to pay the fine, a warrant of arrest will be authorised by the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court for his immediate arrest, as officers do know his whereabouts and his address," Minnaar said.
