Controversial Tshwane resident Djo BaNkuna, who goes by the name Cabbage Bandit on Facebook and has almost 10,000 followers, has stirred up public debate on the weight and fitness levels of police officers.

BaNkuna first made headlines with his pavement cabbage patch after he said he had been threatened with arrest by Tshwane metro police officers, and was fined R1,500.

Describing himself as “kind, friendly, arrogant and rude. Loved and hated by many,” he has now taken up the cause of obesity among members of the SA Police Service . “Today I met one of my homeboys, a young boy of 28 years old. Before he joined the SAPS he was thin, muscular and fit. A mere four years into the job, he has ballooned. So much that his stomach rivals that of my 9-month pregnant Bonsmara cow, Elizabeth,” BaNkuna said in aHe went on: “He is a police officer. He must be fit, very fit. How did he move from 65kg in 2017 to 95kg in February 2022? I care not.

His comments — ending with the opinion that serving officers who are obese and not physically fit should be “flushed out of the police force” — triggered many responses. Some agreed wholeheartedly with him and others condemned him for fat-shaming.
