Free State Police Commissioner Lt. Gen. Baile Motswenyane called for an investigation into a video of a man locked in a dog cage inside a police van.
In the video, which has been circulating on social media, a handcuffed man can be seen hunched over in a dog cage in the back of a police van.
In a cage, next to the man, there is a dog that barks constantly.
In a statement Tuesday, SAPS spokesman Brigadier Motantsi Makhele said that based on information received, the incident occurred in 2019.
“Lieutenant General Baile Motswenyane considers this to be very serious and has therefore ordered the district commissioner to launch a departmental investigation, effective immediately, to investigate this matter.
“For now, we consider the matter to be pending and we will allow the legal route to be developed,” Makhele said.
