WATCH: TSOTSI BLACK
COP ASKS FOR BRIDE & THREATENS VICTIM ON VIDEO!
ON THE video the tsotsi cop shakes his baton and warns the driver
to pay the money or go to the cells.
He tells the driver: “Most of the guys, I look after them and they
look after me.”
AND THEN HE WARNS: I DON’T LIKE SOMEBODY WHO IS LYING. I GET
ANGRY.
Foreign truck drivers who operate at KZN’s Durban Harbour, near
the Maydon Wharf Police Station, said cops demand a R1 000 bribe if they find
anything wrong with the drivers’ papers.
A terrified driver was brave enough to make a video, hiding his
phone behind his hand. He sent the video to Daily Sun.
In the video the cop asks a driver who has just been arrested to
pay a bribe to be let off.
The man who made the video said nobody reports these cops because
they don’t want to risk their lives.
He said the drivers know the police officers well.
“We’ve even named them. We call them High Rate because they demand
R1 000 or more. If you don’t have money, you are forced to go back to your
country,” said the driver.
The drivers even know the cops’ shifts. “The drivers know when the
High Rates are at work. These cops are ruthless, they can make anything up to
R15 000 a day,” he said.
He said the cops patrol at Kings Rest Container Park,
Bayhead.
In the video, one cop can be heard saying: “The guys from Zimbabwe
are good drivers. They are hard workers. You spoil the party. I want you to
suffer.”
The cop was speaking to a Zimbabwean driver who had been arrested
and was waiting for someone to bring the bribe in order for him to be freed.
The cop accused him of lying about the bribe.
The cop even brags about how he had driven a driver to his wife to
get the bribe.
Police spokesman Major Thulani Zwane said that drivers who had
been victimised should come forward.
“We urge the victims to come forward and lay formal complaints.
The anti-corruption unit can be contacted, as well as IPID. If a member is
found asking for bribes he is arrested and they must face the consequences.
The commander of the operational response services at Durban
Harbour can also be contacted on 031 319 2002,” said Zwane.
