X was filled with funny memes and laughter as a video of South African Police Service trainees went viral.
The video which has been shared and viewed multiple times, shows the SAPS trainees in uniform, coming down a flight of stairs with helmets and shield guards, braving the weight of tyres being thrown at them while trying to calm under pressure.

Tweeps found the video to be hilarious and had a chuckle at Mzansi’s protection standards, based on the training video.
Among the comments were media personality Anele Mdoda, who showed sympathy for the members and said: “ Maybe it was their first day guys.”
