A Mercedes G Wagon goes for around R1.9 million and is not a car that just the average Joe rolls in. So, seeing SAPS cruising in one of these beauties had Mzansi citizens a little cheesed off.

The people of Mzansi cannot believe their eyes

Seeing this had people's blood boiling. It is no secret that the people of Mzansi have little to no faith in the SAPS. So, seeing them driving fancy cars just tipped them over the edge. SA is not okay with their tax money being used to give law enforcement a taste of the soft life.

Take a look at what some had to say:

Chilli Karabo said:

“That's our tax money, it's our car.”

Jeanie Hlonipha Sibuyi said:

“What a fancy car to be arrested in.”

Vinolia Mataboge said:

“That's a sticker written police....to cover up buying it with tax payers money.”

Video of SAPS officers chasing young woman evokes some hilarious responses from the people of Mzansi

In related news, Briefly News reported that a young Mzansi woman decided to get SAPS officer in on a viral TikTok challenge clip that had many laughing at the accuracy the video served. Sometimes you have to take your serious hat off and just have a little fun.

It is no secret that South African police officers are not all in the best of shape… even though round is considered as a shape.

TikTok user @sonetadirabehr had SAPS officers pretend to chase her so that she could pull off one of the most original and hilarious ‘run’ viral video challenges. Ups to the police officers for playing along.
