<\/a><\/p>\nAn irate Middelburg Observer Facebook member immediately lashed out with \u201cF*** you\u201d to which warden Mashego replied – \u201cLol thank u fat pink pig…\u201d<\/p>\n
When he was called out by members of the public on his racist vies, he quickly backtracked, saying he didn\u2019t say white pig, but pink, and that the country has no pink nation.<\/p>\n
He again condones the assault saying, \u201c.. Lets not entertain apartheid here we talking abwt a naughty child who got what he wanted…. (SIC)\u201d. He adds, \u201cI dont see violence there i see non racial dicipline (SIC)\u201d.<\/p>\n
A number of civilians on the scene, attempted to intervene and stop the continued assault on the motorist by the painter.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Mr Mashego’s personnal Facebook page, can also draw his competency as traffic warden into question, with one picture, showing a can of Hunters Extreme beer, resting on the steering wheel of his car, with the keys in the ignition, captioned \u201cExtreme satrday (SIC)\u201d. In yet another post, he shows off a wad of cash, apparently earned at a DJ’in gig alongside the words \u201cLets do it again\u201d.<\/p>\n
The posts were brought to the attention of the acting Director of Community Safety, Ms Pamela Mkosi, who referred the paper to the acting Municipal Manager Mr Mandla Mnguni, who after numerous attempts, couldn\u2019t be reached for comment.<\/p>\n Read other stories here:<\/p>\n Video: N4 highway re – opens after tanker catches fire<\/a><\/p>\n Video: Munisipale werker rand motoris aan<\/a><\/p>\n Traffic officer arrested<\/a><\/p>\n Video: Tears flow after traffic arrests<\/a><\/p>\n Video: Pepper spray, threats, as traffic officers go on strike<\/a><\/p>\n Send a message to our SMS line 33 658 or add us onto Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> @Mobserv<\/a> to receive your free daily news updates.<\/p>\n Also check out our Video\u2019s<\/a> on Youtube<\/a> daily!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Middelburg traffic department has a new crisis on hands, following Monday\u2019s assault on a motorist by a municipal painter in the presence of a uniformed traffic cop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1848,"featured_media":54659,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hasGravity":false,"cxt_article_byline":"Gerhard Rheeder","cxt_disable_google_ads":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","category-news-headlines"],"category_labels":{"Category":"News","SubCategory":"Local news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1848"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54656"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54656\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n
