Netizens react to SAPS officer's vehicle
Themba's viral video received over a million views from TikTok users, with many also rushing to the comment section to congratulate the man. On the other hand, some shared their disbelief as they thought a cop could not afford such a car.
@user2766114250468 congratulated Themba and advised him:
"You must learn to do your personal things in your civilian clothes."
@cheeznator told the online community:
"Police officers are like any ordinary person. They also need to be respected. There is nothing wrong with anybody posting their success."
Fellow cop @tangotango250 shared their story:
"My first car as a constable was a 1986 Corolla. To this day, after almost 39 years in the police force, I never had the opportunity to have a car from a dealership."
@shaun_gift could not believe what they saw and laughingly wrote:
"No police officer can afford this car in South Africa."
Responding to the naysayers, @leboo.joy commented:
"People who can’t afford it in the comments are bitter. Mara, do you guys know what it takes to own a car?
@miss07_17 said to Themba:
"People are stressed about your achievement. Congratulations. The uniform and the car."

What you need to know about the rank structure of SAPS
The South African Police Service (SAPS) rank structure is divided into three subdivisions.
Commissioned Officers (Senior Management) include ranks such as General, Lieutenant General, Major General, and Brigadier. These senior officers are responsible for strategic leadership and major operational oversight within SAPS.
Commissioned Officers cover ranks like Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major, Captain, and Lieutenant. These officers play key roles in managing various divisions and units, ensuring the effective execution of departmental functions and specialized tasks.
Non-commissioned Officers comprise ranks below the commissioned level. They are involved in roles such as Crime Combating, Investigation, Community Relations, Internal Stability, Supporting Services, Visible Policing, and Human Resource Management.
Each province has a Provincial Commissioner who reports to the National Commissioner, the highest-ranking officer in SAPS.
