Cape Town - Facebook users were intrigued this week by a picture of one of Cape Town’s top cops wearing a T-shirt printed with a dagga leaf during a march in the city.
A picture on Jeremy Vearey’s Facebook page showed him in a red T-shirt printed with an image of a hemp plant and the word “Rastafarian” on the front, at the end of a march to Parliament on Monday. The march was organised by Equal Education. Vearey is the police cluster commander in Mitchells Plain.
“The Equal Education march in Cape Town – training my sons in the ABC of revolutionary solidarity and mass mobilisation,” read his Facebook message which has since been taken down along with the picture.
Vearey laughed on Wednesday when asked about the T-shirt.
“It was Father’s Day on Sunday and I was given this sweater by my two sons. It was a Father’s Day present. There was the march on Monday and they dared me to put it on and I did. There is nothing more to it,” he said.
Facebook users complimented him on his choice of clothing. “Nice hey, like the T-shirt”, wrote Deon Safers.
