Had a good laugh when I read this story -

AN on-duty policeman who spent his Sunday afternoon on Blue Horizon Bay beach in Port Elizabeth in full uniform in the company of a "skimpily dressed" female "colleague", has residents of the coastal village fuming...Long-time Blue Horizon Bay resident Brian Bezuidenhout said he was furious to see the policeman arrive in a marked police vehicle – BNV 979 EC, no 63, belonging to the area crime combating unit in Struandale in Port Elizabeth – with a "skimpily dressed female" for a 2½-hour visit to the beach. "They were frolicking on the dunes. They walked along the beach and then as they walked towards the dunes they held hands and cuddled, and then disappeared behind the dunes. After about an hour they reappeared. The whole process took more than 2½ hours."...

 

(Here it comes) The policeman, whose name is known to The Herald, this week admitted to being in Blue Horizon Bay on Sunday afternoon "on official general duty with a constable colleague". He did not want to provide the name of the female constable in a small black outfit, but said he was an official swimming instructor in the police and took her for swimming instruction. However, Bezuidenhout said he had not seen the two, who had a small bag with them, enter the water. The operational commander of the crime combating unit, Superintendent Greg Botha, said the matter would be investigated.
