A policeman recorded slapping a woman as she walked past him at Thembisa South police station faces a disciplinary investigation and a potential criminal case.

In a second video, the voice of a distressed woman is heard as she pleads with officers not to take her cellphone away, apparently after they became aware that the incident was filmed.“The member involved has been identified and the provincial inspectorate, a component dealing with complaints against the police, has already instructed the district co-ordinator to institute a departmental disciplinary investigation.

“We are calling on the victim and witnesses to come forward so we can open a criminal case against the member/s involved,” Muridili said.

I'm guessing the slap would have been justified if it was a man receiving it The outcry is more about the victim being female than anything. If it was a male... The question of 'what did he do to get a slap' would be on the table 🤣🤣🤣 SA is such a funny country man 🤣🤣🤣...

Potential. I hope she takes him to the cleaners...

The fucken police must be brought to books. He is a fucken deployed cadre from amc

Potential? You have visual evidence!

This police force doesn’t deserve a uniform. It’s not a life form it’s a force serving a criminal gang of looters and thieves.

Charge, dismissed and send him to jail.

Dismissal is the first step in the right direction and then criminal charges. There is no excuse for this behavior. His first job is to protect women. He is not fit for the job!

That lady must open a case and sue the state...

Those police watching should also face disciplinary hearing, for the fact that they're not stopping him means they agree with him

SandileMadonse Stop wasting our time he’s wearing a mask. What court will prove beyond reasonable doubt that it’s indeed him🚶🏾‍♂️

Arrest him that human abuse especially from someone that understand the law and promised to uphold it

Country of idiots that follow everything and never come up with their own solutions. GBV post 94 has only gone up. Why? Coz women use LAWS to torture and torment men knowing there is nothing a man can do. This is not the intended purpose of these laws. Men wake up

This is disturbing and disgusting to say the least. How can the one entrusted with protection of civilians comfortably commit crime at the station where victims are expected to feel safe and in full view of other supposed 'protectors?' Drastic measures must be taken.

And we expect violence against women to decrease when the police are part of it? Even women officers are seen in the video doing nothing to stop their colleague

GBV this is still a really for many woman... Nowhere to turn for help..

Why only potential criminal case? Who will hold the docket so it doesn’t disappear? When will he be in court?

It's interesting that the police are calling for the victim or witnesses to come forward 'so that a case can be opened'. Can't they see a crime a crime being committed and act accordingly? Is there any more evidence beyond this video to open a case?

I'm not asking for any vengeance I'm not asking for anything but her to me to live a very quiet lives

I agree it's not roc world but

Yes

Following procedure is such a drag some times. He should be fired and his peers should have arrested him on the spot. The peers should be disciplined for neglecting their No. 1 duty - to serve and protect

Good Move,

Uyaphapha

This leaves one's heart heavy ☹️☹️🚮that's someone's daughter, someone's wife, a mother 💔

He needs to be fired like yesterday

Fire him and give 3 year prison sentence.

Are you surprised that violence against woman and children never gets addressed.

Not surprised, former colleagues of Rosemary Ndlovu are rogue like her. It just sums it up, 🚮

He must be arrested

All d police in d scene should be dismissed

Mxm nonsense

Digusting. Where would women run for protection...such abomination!

A POTENTIAL criminal case?

Useless videos everyday that are weakening our police force , next time please show us the whole clip where it started 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Disgusting

Lool hell no when

Not police material. Don't they have psychological tests for this job?

They must be fired then arrested.

Police contributing to the stats of women assaults 🤨🤨🤨

they never learn....all of them watching should be investigated and send back to the academy

Those policemen who were watching must also be dealt with.

Lol 'potential'

GBVMustStop

He must get sometime ⛓️

According to the public service act, and other relevant legislation and policies, this sort of misconduct warrants a spot dismissal. Why was he not fired

Police must stop being emotional, if whomever is misbehaving or rude or insulting leave that person alone, you don't lose anything Your salary will be paid at the end of month

We must fear thugs and our officers now

Good
