TWO TRAFFIC OFFICERS SPOTTED PLAYING ON SEESAW, MZANSI REACTS

After noticing two traffic officers playing on a seesaw swing at a park across from his home, an unknown man decided to record the law enforcement officers and shared the video online. In the clip, the unknown man can be heard disappointedly pointing out that after the traffic cops finish swining, they will get back to dishing out fines.

“Now they gonna give us fines and trap us,” he said.

Over the years, law enforcement officers have been busted doing the most shocking things while on duty. Earlier this year, SAPS sergeant, Claudius Minnaar, 40, appeared at the De Aar District Court in the Northern Cape on charges of drunk driving after a video of him went viral showing him in a drunken stupor while operating a state vehicle, IOL reported.

They appeared at the Vrede Magistrate court earlier this year on corruption charges.
