This Guy Filmed A SAPS Officer Refusing To Help Him In A Police Station [Video]

An incident at a Welkom police station has left the Afrikaans-speaking community feeling quite unwelcome.

A Welkom man started filming a nonchalant police officer after the officer refused to assist him in his mother tongue as he requested. In the video, the man can be heard asking, in both English and Afrikaans, to be helped, only to a blunt, winging-chair refusal.

Personally, both parties are wrong as the policeman should have found the sort of help the man required yet the man requesting the help should have stayed away from dealing the race card so often.

A lack of respect from both sides, it’s not very welcome at all.
