South Africans have heaped praise on a police officer – identified as Colonel Khumalo – who shut down a club in Maboneng over the weekend. This follows a crackdown on businesses operating illegally in the Gauteng province.
POLICE PRAISED FOR ‘SERVICE EXCELLENCE’
In an X post by the South African Justice, Crime Prevention & Security, the police member was recognised for his bold move to shut down a club.
In clips that have gone viral on social media, the SAPS member is seen walking up to the DJ booth, turning down the volume, and unplugging it, to the surprise and disappointment of many groove patrons.
The post read: “[SERVICE EXCELLENCE] A salute to Colonel Khumalo for his unwavering commitment to safety and order in the streets of Maboneng.
“His dedicated enforcement of trading license regulations ensures that liquor and entertainment establishments close on time while every patron makes it home safely.
“Leadership in action, serving with integrity”.
It’s not the first time the police officer has put an end to a party. In fact, the experienced cop has been known for sending groove-goers home early.
In another clip, Colonel Khumalo was seen switching off the equipment belonging to DJ Fresh. The video shows the popular entertainer laughing out loud at the embarrassing incident.
