– Love is getting Mzansi men into heaps of trouble during the nationwide lockdown
– A Gauteng man and his lover were arrested after attempting to sneak over provincial lines without the relevant permits
A man was arrested at a roadblock in Gauteng when he attempted to “smuggle” his girlfriend out of Gauteng, MEC for safety and community Faith Mazibuko said.
Mazibuko said the car was stopped and searched at a roadblock on the N12 on Friday.
“Law enforcement asked the man to open the boot to search, [and] they found a lady inside. She was also arrested, she consented to be smuggled,” said Mazibuko.

In a video that has been circulating, the clearly embarrassed woman gets out of the boot, while some cops can be heard laughing in the background.
“Do you think we’re stupid?” asks one cop as another explains she was not forced into the boot.
Responding to a social media user who accused her of having fun with such arrests, Mazibuko said: “How can I be having the time of my life when the coronavirus is threatening our lives? Siyasebenza, but the things we come across, they will either make you laugh or cry.”
