“We studied the video clip and requested ourinternal affairsunit to intervene,” said acting chief superintendent Kobeli Mokheseng. He advised Ngidi to register a complaint at the metro police department’s head offices in Kempton Park.Ngidi said the incident happened on Monday when she and her sister-in-law were stopped by metro police officers. Ngidi was a passenger in the car.

“My biggest mistake was to ask the officer to wear a mask. He refused. I asked him again, and he again refused. He asked me what it has to do with me. I then took a picture with the intention of wanting to report him for breaking the law. When I started taking pictures, he came to my side and pulled me out of the car,” Ngidi said.

Lady you need to take him to the cleaners, just because he is an officer of the law, doesn’t allow him to do and say what he wants... unfortunately these guys probably follow by example from their corrupt police minister.. government needs to get rid of the corrupt ministers

Why they alwys get puffed up when they on uniform? Think they must change fabric This guy must be fired

Charge the bustered he doesn’t deserve to wear that uniform ever! Outrageous violence against unarmed woman is uncalled for! He thought 💭 he’s above the law of the Land, and he can violate the same regulation he is ought to enforce. Reckless behavior.

Haibo !
