A Somerset West woman has been arrested for allegedly calling a traffic officer the k-word, Western Cape provincial traffic chief Kenny Africa said on Saturday.
“A lady addressed one of my officers with the k-word,” said Africa.
He said he could not give more details as the matter is sub-judice, but she will face a charge of crimen injuria.
This comes at a time when Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth, is accused of being involved in an alleged racially motivated assault in Langebaan in August.
In the meantime, officers in the Western Cape had a busy day on Saturday with 1467 vehicles stopped for checks.
