Police say the man is creating a false impression that he is lawfully associated with the police service and is abusing the badge and emblem of the SAPS which are protected by law.
SAPS spokesperson Athlenda Mathe says the unauthorised use of SAPS property and uniform is in direct contravention of the SAPS Act. “To this end, this civilian has committed at least three offences in terms of the SAPS Act ; Section 66 , 68 and 68 in that he wore the emblems and official insignia of the SAPS. The public that the wearing of uniform or distinctive marks of the SAPS by a person who is not a member or who does not have permission to do so from the National Commissioner is an offence. Civilians are therefore discouraged from using or wearing police property to avoid having a criminal record.
SAPS is failing period
Its themselves the police who need to b warned
Where do we get the property bcoz its them who give it to us
🤣🤣🤣....
This Zimbabwean made a mockery of GovernmentZA and the SAPoliceService and should be hunted and arrested. The officers that allowed in that vehicle and the use of the emblem should also be disciplined. MYANC Our_DA EFFSouthAfrica hamiltoncele
Why warn us. Your cops need to look after their stuff.
Reactive statement
Private citizens pay police to use their kit to commit crimes; who needs the warning, nobody. The police need proper training, discipline and management. Oops, sorry, I forgot who is in charge.

Is that all SAPoliceService? Just a warning?
What about off duty cops using for personal gain and intimidation.
They must not warn us they must just do their job.
Warning them will not help, they must just arrest the perpetrators
Zimbabweans do and get away with it.
Who “Authorized” this?
