• A video clip of a GTI driver facing off against a police van has social media users buzzing
• It seems the 'race' took place illegally and some people have criticised the officers for abusing state resources
• Mzansi took to the comments section sharing their reactions to the clip

A video clip of a GTI driver facing off against a police van in a sort of 'street race' has social media users buzzing. Looking at the clip, it's clear the polo driver won the race but Mzansi can't help wondering what the police officers were doing there in the first place.

Heading online, Twitter user @kulanicool shared the clip.

South Africans were certainly shocked by the clip. One person was particularly worried about the race 'officials' who can be seen running onto the road just seconds before the drivers take off.
