The video has been trending on all platforms with a large amount of men commenting in defence of the policeman’s reaction to being called “marete”, which appears to mean genitals in Sesotho.
The woman is reported to be a teacher assistant who was sent to the station to get her police clearance.
Allegedly, this disagreement and fight was sparked by the policeman refusing the help the woman get her police clearance.
