WATCH: Policewomen do their hair while on duty at KZN police station
The police minister says he has 'activated action' on the video and adds he will not allow police stations to be turned into hair salons.

Another video of SAPS members seemingly slacking on duty has caught Police Minister Fikile Mbalula’s attention.
The video was shared by Twitter user Thully Nkosi, who said she had visited Madadeni Police Station in KwaZulu-Natal to seek police assistance when she was met with officers who did not seem as if they were up for the job.
In the video, a female officer can be seen combing another female officer’s hair, with others in uniform sit at a table. Another male officer, apparently the station commander, comes to the lady taking the video and asks her to stop taking a video, which she doesn’t.
She alleged the officers only came to her assistance after realising she was taking a video.
“I only got assistance when they saw me capturing the video,” she said.

Her video divided social media, with some defending the officers, saying they did come to help her, while some think they should be dealt with.
Nkosi was also accused of seeking attention by posting the video, but she said she needed help for an 80-year-old woman who was a victim of domestic violence.
“Fame is not what I was looking for,” she said.
While some said the women doing each other’s hair were not police officers, Nkosi said she made several calls that were not being answered, hence she decided to go to the station to report the matter.
Mbalula said he had “activated action” on the matter.
“Our police stations won’t be turned into hair salons,” he said.
