The Germiston City News was recently contacted by a concerned resident who took a photograph of an EMPD vehicle parked at a ‘gentlemen\u2019s club’ in Primrose.<\/p>\n

According to the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, the vehicle was parked there at about 11am.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cWhat was an EMPD officer doing at the club in the middle of the morning?<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if they were off-duty they should not have been in a state vehicle visiting the establishment,\u201d she said.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The GCN contacted Wilfred Kgasago, the spokesman for the EMPD.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe officers had an appointment with the manager to request assistance on behalf of their friend who is involved in some form of martial arts,” said Kgasago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe appointment involved discussing training facilities and possible sponsorship.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe establishment is involved in assisting sports people by way of sponsoring them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe appointment was at 10am and the meeting lasted about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey left the premises before 11am.<\/p>\n

\u201cBusiness at this establishment only commences well into the afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n
