According to Laetitia Prinsloo, she was travelling down Voortrekker Street when she spotted the two officers trying to patch up some of the potholes.
“They didn’t want me to take a close-up picture because they didn’t want to be recognised. I did, however, managed to take a picture of them from further away.”
