“This re-enactment forms part of a module for domestic violence training that police officers are mandated to attend.”
Brigadier Jay Naicker said the officers in the clip were re-enacting a domestic violence situation as part of a training exercise.
“This re-enactment forms part of a module for domestic violence training that police officers are mandated to attend,” Naicker said. Police said they suspected it may have been shared by a police officer who had attended the 2018 training course in Durban. Naicker said the police were disturbed by the sharing of the video, especially because of the timing, as South Africans were still reeling from a video which surfaced this week purportedly showing musician Babes Wodumo being assaulted.
