It's not just the KwaZulu-Natal police doing the talking.
Emergency Medical Services personnel are also warning criminals about their demise-in-waiting.
A video has surfaced showing an Emergency Medical Services worker offering frank advice to criminals in the province.
KZN paramedic echoes warning to thugs
His warning comes amid an onslaught by the police, led by provincial police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
Mkhwanazi previously vowed a heavy-handed approach to fighting rampant crime. This approach has resulted in multiple shootouts between law enforcement and criminals in the past several months.
An X user, @S_Phola__, posted the clip of the paramedic, who is seen recording himself talking as he makes his point.
The caption read:
"General Mkhwanazi better not catch you."
In the 50-second material, the man is seen driving an ambulance. Speaking in isiZulu, he articulates his point, saying:
"Hayi, kushube ngempela ke manje. Ngathi kuzosiza uma ukuthi uma uyisigebengu noma uzaszi kuthi uyisigebengu, uhlale nezinye izigebengu lapho enihleli khona.
"Nihlele nezinye izigebengu ngokuyenzeka ukuthi masekufika uMkhwanazi nethimba lakhe ... banifice kahle nindawo onye.
"Ngoba, otherwise, sofika nathi sifike sigcwalise la imininingwane yakho kuleli booku leli. Sibuye lapho simboze ngale mpahla le masesikubizele imoto ene tray ezokuthatha nge tray ihambe iyokuphosa efrigini.
"Hayi kushube ngempela manje, akudlalwa."
The paramedic enthusiastically warns off criminals, saying idiomatically that it is getting hot in the kitchen. He tells those who know they are thugs or planned to be thugs to find other thugs and stay there for Mkhwanazi to find.
Otherwise, paramedics were positioned to fill out a declaration of death book and cover the corpse with an emergency blanket.
He holds up the book and emergency blanket to the camera. Mzansi found the paramedic's frank advice entertaining and humorous.
