Social media users have reacted quickly to the video, with many expressing admiration. @markcarolissen highlighted the often-overlooked disrespect motorists show towards pedestrians, emphasising that such acts of kindness by law enforcement are a welcome change.
@NGsaRev suggested that the officers' efforts deserve recognition through a salary increase, noting that their dedication goes beyond the call of duty:
"They deserve an increase in their salary."
On the other hand, @koosmogale1 labelled the disregard for elderly pedestrians as a form of "elderly abandonment," calling it a serious issue that needs more attention:
"This is elderly abandonment and a crime."
Meanwhile, @de_kyke argued that police officers' positive actions should be celebrated just as much as their mistakes are criticised.
"This doesn't get reported this should be used as a proud moment cos we rightfully give them huge kak which is deserved but when they get it right it should be news worthy,"
@MarakalalaLumi echoed this sentiment, suggesting that we show appreciation for the officers by offering them cool drinks as a gesture of thanks.
"Always give them Cool drinks to thank them."
