In the video , the members of the SAPS could be seen relaxed and having what looked like cold drinks with the members of the public . The nationality of the members of the public concerned is not known , but the Put South Africa First (PSAFLIVE) was of the assumption that they were having drinks with foreign nationals .

Although it is hard to tell by only looking at the 14 seconds video what was happening , it can be noted that the police officers were enjoying themselves with the members of the society , one of whom even filmed himself . The video must not be interpreted as being an illegal activity by the police officers .

There is need for police officers to have good relations with the members of the community . There is nothing wrong with inviting police for coffee or cool drinks while they are on duty . It is a way of showing that although they are law enforcement agencies , they are still human beings who need to be shown love and generosity .

The video should not be interpreted as being an act of being mischievous by the police , but a way for police to interact and make members of the community feel free around cops . Creation of good relations between police and the members of the community makes it easy for information to be shared as well between the two . This kind of interaction that was shown in the short video is the type of openness that should prevail between police and members of the public .
