TESTIMONY_GIVER:
  No, not at all.  It was actually a word that I learnt from the journalist, and in Afrikaans they called "kopgeld."  Now, I think "kopgeld," head money, comes from the notorious Kufoot Unit, where they were paid R2 000,00 per head.  So bounty actually came from a journalistic term, but it was reward money in my seeing.
