WATCH: Police officer caught sleeping on the job

The Mpumalanga provincial police commissioner has ordered an investigation into the matter.


A video of yet another police officer at the KwaMhlanga Police Station in Mpumalanga slacking on the job has emerged.

In the video circulating on social media, the police officer is seen sleeping while people wait to be served.

The one woman complains that the officer is sleeping while members of the public wait to be served, alleging he is drunk as even the noise made by members of the public still doesn’t wake him up.

The person taking the video zooms in on the officer’s name tag that identifies him as Phaka.

Watch the video below:

Mpumalanga provincial police commissioner Lieutenant-General Mondli Zuma has reportedly ordered an investigation into the matter.

On Tuesday, a video of a South African Police Service (SAPS) member using her work phone to make a call to sort out her disconnected DStv emerged and divided social media users.

In the video shot at Buccleuch satellite station, it seems two women went to the police station, though it was unclear if they found the police officer on the phone already or if she made the call while they were waiting to be served.

The two women can be heard laughing and asking what they will do, as they don’t think they will find whatever they are looking for at the station.

The officer tells a consultant on the phone: “Can you please open it for now? I have two of them, I think it’s the one for the Compact, and the other one is [she reads out reference number]. I want it to be reconnected because it’s giving me problems because you’re charging me, and it’s off. No, they didn’t reverse it, if they say I owe MultiChoice R69, they didn’t reverse. I’m not happy.”
