SAPS Members Fawn Over Ngizwe Mchunu, SA Reactions Mixed

PRETORIA, GAUTENG— Members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) who gushed over Maskandi musician Ngizwe Mchunu in Pretoria, Tshwane, became the topic of a debate on how police officers conduct themselves in public.

X user Ntokozo Masuku posted a video of Mchunu in Tshwane on his @visse_ss X account. Mchunu, who was recently snubbed by Somizi Mhlongo for his homophobic remarks, is seen in the video joking with three police officers. A fourth one joins as it appears as if they are posing for a picture. Throughout the short, 29-second clip, the officers are laughing with Mchunu as more pictures are taken.
