They may, very genuinely, have no change.

There's no problem with that at all.

Tell them to go and find some.

Just ask them to look in 'the other pocket'. There's always a another wad of notes - notice how it's only a lone note... There is little chance that a rickshaw driver, who usually deals with amounts less than R100, does not have change.
