So the party’s parties were so great Shwashwi went to check out if our cops were as good at throwing bashes as they are at bashing people.
Oops, sorry, those days are over. Just kidding.
Apartheid is surely dead and buried – now we celebrate the men and women in blue who put their lives at risk to protect us.
So off moi went to Bloemfontein, Vodacom Park to be exact, where lotsa buses arrived carrying loads and loads of cops.
I started worrying about the safety of the country, considering every cop in the land was assembled at one spot.
But then, I was in the only safe spot in the land, so who cares? Now for the juice.
Actually, there wasn’t any. It was a totally sobering event. Cops!
My sidekick and I were eager to personally witness the much publicised spat between the minister of police Nathi Mthethwa and his deputy Fikile Mbalula.
How disappointed we were when we got there, only to find the two behaving like old buddies.
It was quite touching to see the respect the police have for their leaders.
You should’ve seen the excitement when the chiefs broke into song and started dancing.
But, hoo boy, did the three Musketeers Mbalula, Mthethwa and Bheki Cele teach you the songs or what?
Thanks to the Free State for hosting the police. Now at least they can sing in unison. Or was it premier Ace Magashule’s magic?
The only real whiff of discord was that Free State Police, Roads and Transport MEC Thabo Manyoni wore a Bloemfontein Celtic jersey while all the other dignitaries wore Bafana Bafana jerseys.
The country’s official flavour of the month performed, as usual. Chomee kick-started the occasion and the crowd went beserk.
Eish, they were even able to dance – not the old wobble we expected. The chief’s weight loss programme seems to be paying off.
Other performers included Durb’s favourite DJ Siyanda, Deborah Fraser, Solly Mahlangu and Mandoza – who is lucky not to be behind bars.
He still thinks it is right to say SAP instead of SAPS. The cops weren’t impressed.
Now DJ Tira, when are you going to let the Big Nuz boys shine on their own? Or is it a Durban thang, since Zakes used to do that with L’Vovo?
It was good to see Arthur Mafokate, Nathi Mthethwa and Bheki Cele mixing with the crowd.
But did you guys have to risk your lives by going to the extra-strong (township slang for grandstands)?
But what can Shwashwi say? You are the arb’s heroes. What’s happened to this country?
