"No Police Shall Stop Us": Mzansi in Dismay Over Video of People Partying Past Curfew

• South African social media users are in dismay as they look at a video of police beating partygoers in Bloemfontein
• According to Tyrion Targryn, the incident happened in Bloemfontein where partygoers can be seen getting a smack from police officers as they enforced curfew regulations
• Many social media users feel the police were brutal and didn’t operate according to the law because that is private property and not a tavern

In a viral video clip, South African partygoers are seen getting a smack from police officers who seemingly had to ensure the tavern or pub is closed on time. According to the clip, it seems the owner or the revellers didn’t obey the rules or laws as per operating hours.

One can see partygoers enjoying themselves but it seems they overstayed their welcome at a club and the men in blue had to come in to ensure they leave the premises. However, the police didn’t just allow them to leave in peace but they had to give them a few lashes.

“But this is private property - curfew doesn’t apply here. What’s next, they will come to my house and tell me to sleep after 12?.”

@Ruthles061 said:

“Not all those partygoers live there so it against curfew for them to be out after 12. Only for those who live on the property, curfew does not apply. I'm not sure about the cops having the right to beat them bec they are to supposed to arrest them only”
