ACTRESS and comedian, Nina Hastie, was allegedly harassed by the Metro police.
According to her Instagram post, she was coming from a gig when she and her Uber driver were approached by police.
The alleged incident happened on Tuesday night (20 April) and the Bantu Hour star took to social media to talk about her ordeal.
“I’m being harassed by a policeman. Currently in an Uber on Smit street. The Metro police that pulled us over saw me filming and started screaming at me. I’m a woman alone at night on my way home from work and took an UBER BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SAFER,” she wrote and later deleted the original tweet.
In her follow-up tweets she described the whole experience as scary and terrifying.
“I’ve shared my live location with someone but the Uber driver got lost and then we landed up going towards the opposite side of Johannesburg and in the city deep. F*ck what a scary night,” she wrote.
