Two friends' chance encounter at a local airport with one of South Africa’s most prominent police officials turned into a viral comedic moment.
In a video shared on TikTok by @azandem, a young woman and her friend filmed themselves gushing over General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi after spotting him in public.
The two women were clearly charmed by the officer, describing him as “buff” and noting that his physique proved he was a regular at the gym. During the clip, the creator questioned why the General was travelling without bodyguards, though her friend argued it made sense within the airport vicinity.
The duo jokingly call for their own arrest
Still, TikTok user @azandem remained jokingly convinced that the man needed protection even when her friend noted he was in a safe space. The pair went as far as jokingly calling for their own arrest, claiming they were ready to go to jail if it meant that they would be questioned by General Mkhwanazi.
