By A Correspondent-Police in South Africa have arrested dancer and entertainer Zodwa Wabantu for allegedly breaking lockdown regulations.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, 9 August, Zodwa shared a video of her
DARK! Confrontation with the police.

According to the post, she was coming from a gig when the cops approached her.
She alleged that one of them demanded a R5 000 bribe.
She wrote: “Look at the man who demanded R5 000 on the road when this officer asked about our permit. Since he is charging us on curfew time, we have a permit to work all-time in the media space, not the club. I have other projects on TV.
“I was almost eight minutes to my house.”
In the video, a group of police can be seen cornering Zodwa, while one of them is also taking a video.

One of the police officers then demands to see Zodwa’s work permit.
Zodwa took out her phone and showed the police her work permit while there was a heated exchange with the police. “Here is the permit. No, you didn’t listen to us because you wanted to do exactly what you are doing.

“You’re the one who told me I want to trend. This is the permit and yes I’m coming from work. Ngibuya ukuyodunusa bhuti,” she can be heard saying as she shows them her work permit. But the police said the permit reflected only one person and there were four of them. “We are all under that permit. Besides, that’s how a permit is written,” Zodwa said.

In another video, Zodwa can be seen being photographed at the police station. Another officer asked if she understands that she is being arrested, to which Zodwa responds and says yes.

At this stage, it’s not clear which gig Zodwa was coming from and it’s also not clear if she was in police custody or not.
