A young South African from Ceres shared an inspirational Police story that we should all be sharing and talking about!
The Police Force in South Africa are not always celebrated and the stories trending about them on social media are not always great.
But James de Villiers shared a story involving the police which is inspiring thousands of South Africans around the country.
He took to Facebook to honour the team that had helped him & his friend out after a burglary.
“Today I want to honour South Africa’s police.
This morning at 09:30, while my friend Ruan Klopper and I were asleep in my parent’s home in Ceres, a guy in a red-shirt stole Ruan’s laptop through his bedroom’s window.
Within a minute from phoning police, three police vans came chasing down the street, and within five minutes the suspect was arrested – the laptop safely returned.
While there’s a lot of stories about police inefficiencies, today I bore witness to officers who diligently perform their duties – mostly to an ungrateful public.
You are our everyday heroes.”
The post has inspired thousands who are commenting on how proudly South African a feel good story about the Police has made them feel:
