Please forgive me for this next pun, but I just can’t help
myself….’It’s time for our very own Durban Kwaito star, Professor Langa to face the music!’ It appears as though Mkhonzeni Langa (who goes by the stage
name Professor Langa) committed more
than a crime of fashion last week when he showed up at the Metro FM Music
Awards dressed as a metro police officer! The NPA – National Prosecuting
Authority, for those of you who watch shows like 90210, has issued a summons
for the star to appear in Durban Magistrate’s Court on the 17th of
May. So what’s the worst that could happen? Well quite a lot it seems, he is
facing charges of impersonating a police officer, possession of a police
uniform and wearing a police uniform without permission. You see by law, only
SAPS – South African Police Service, that’s incase you watch Jersey Shore, and
metro police officers can use a police uniform and badge. If anyone else is
adorned in blue, special permission from the national police commissioner is
needed. Without this permission Professor
Langa could be facing up to 6 months imprisonment!
If we take the ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ approcach’,
this could be prime material for a hit song. Maybe ‘I ain’t scared of no popo?’
