Devi told Martin Bester: “The #TheDeviTeam was driving out of Pretoria when we were stopped by the Tshwane Metro Police officer. It seems that the Tshwane Metro Police officer insisted one is required to carry 20 litres of sanitser in every vehicle and three people in one vehicle was ‘over the limit’."   

Devi continues: “I’m sitting at the back in the vehicle with tinted windows. I heard the conversation between my producer and the officer. I rolled down my window and the officer got such a shock!”
