A senior police officer was subjected to a barrage of tribalistic slurs by a woman in KwaZulu-Natal this week, raising the wrath of his colleagues.
The SAPS said it condemned in the strongest possible terms the discrimination and offensive remarks directed at one of its dedicated, hard-working, and highly qualified spokespersons, which were captured in a recording outside a police station.
The woman admonished KwaZulu-Natal SAPS spokesperson Col Robert Netshiunda for not communicating with her in isiZulu and referred to him as a kwerekwere, which is a deeply offensive term used to label someone as a foreigner.
