South African slang for a police officer, used in township and urban Cape Coloured communities. It's the kind of word you'd hear in a warning — someone's clocked a cop and is signaling to the group. The term sits in the same register as the American 'five-o' or British 'feds': street-level slang that keeps information moving without spelling it out for anyone official who might be listening.
