Daylight robbery

In a clip shared on Twitter by @ndi_shony, police officers can be seen getting approached by armed men who then proceed to demand that the cops hand over their firearms, which they end up doing.

Shook locals

"This country is a movie #DiepCityMzansi," Shonny captioned the clip while other locals had this to say:

More harrowing instances

Briefly News also reported that South Africans have been left wallowing in disappointment after a clip was shared of a man desperately appealing to some Roodepoort police offers to get up from behind the comfort of a heater in the police station and help a woman that was being attacked by four rapists.

In the clip that was shared by Farah C Fortune on Twitter, the man records himself walking into the station where cops are basically asleep behind a heater. The man then asks the cops why they were not answering his calls to notify them that a woman was being raped by four men on a nearby corner.
