A Western Cape police officer is under scrutiny after appearing in a video promoting anti-foreigner sentiments linked to the Abahambe campaign.
POLICE in the Western Cape have launched an internal investigation after an officer was captured on video allegedly promoting anti-foreigner sentiments linked to the controversial 'Abahambe' campaign, which called on illegal immigrants to leave South Africa by June 30.
The officer, who was reportedly filmed while in full police uniform, is believed to be attached to Vredendal SAPS on the West Coast.
Western Cape SAPS confirmed that management had instituted an investigation into the matter following the circulation of the video on various social media platforms.
"Western Cape SAPS management has instituted an investigation into a video circulating on social media platforms in which a SAPS official in uniform is seen uttering misleading anti-foreigner sentiments," SAPS said.
