Joburg metro cops in trouble for Mashaba dance
The officers were travelling in an official metro police vehicle.
Johannesburg Metro police officers caught on video dancing with ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba will face an internal investigation.
The group of officers were seen greeting Mashaba with a dance in a video shared on the party’s social media account.
The officers were travelling in an official metro police vehicle.
Metro police spokesperson Xolani Fihla says officers are not allowed to publicly display any association with a political party.
“Metropolitan police officers may be members of a political party, but cannot show association to that political party when they are in uniform.
The JMPD is acting swiftly in dealing with this matter. And If there is any evidence of such misbehaviour, the members concerned will have to appear before a disciplinary committee where a presiding official will hear the case and determine an appropriate sanction for such misconduct,” says Fihla.
Mashaba is a former mayor of Johannesburg.
