*Zimbabwean Man Sitting Behind Wheel Of Marked SAPS Car Invites Sharp Warning From SA Police* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ea The South African Police Service (SAPS) has warned members of the public against the unauthorised and illegal use of SAPS property. This was after a video clip of a man who appears to be a Zimbabwean sitting behind the wheel of a marked police vehicle wearing a SAPS cap went viral on social media. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- The man, who was sitting inside the SAPS car, and his colleague, who was apparently filming the incident, were speaking in Shona. Commenting on the video, SAPS spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe warned that it was an offence for members of the public to wear police uniforms or distinctive marks of the SAPS without permission from the national commissioner. Said Mathe: > A civilian can be seen in a marked police vehicle wearing a SAPS cap. This unauthorised use of SAPS property and uniform is in direct contravention of the SAPS Act. > The civilian has committed at least three offences in terms of the SAPS Act; Section 66 (1), 68(1) and 68(3), in that he wore the emblems and official insignia of the SAPS. > The man has thus created the false impression that he is lawfully associated with the police service by being in a marked police vehicle and wearing the badge and emblem of the SAPS, which is protected by law. https://t792ae.c2.acecdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Zimbabwean-Man-sitting-behind-the-wheel-of-a-SAPS-car.mp4 Police are investigating the matter. | News24 _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
