President of the African Transformation Movement (ATM) Vuyolwethu Zungula shared a shocking clip involving the SAPS on the Twitter TL.
In the 43-second video, a few men can be seen standing around a SAPS vehicle. One man is leaning over the passenger side of the car. While a man in a jacket, standing beside him, seems to be in a heated conversation with whoever is seated inside the SAPS vehicle.
SAPS take bribes from unknown men
Around 31 seconds into the video the man in a jacket pulls out his wallet and starts looking through it. It seems as though he grabbed a few notes before leaning towards the SAPS vehicle.
He hands the money over to the person in the car before closing his wallet and placing it back into his pocket. The man in the jacket then walks away from the police car as the other man continues to lean over the vehicle.
The short video has gained a whopping 201,500 views on Twitter.
