While South Africans are still reeling from a video of a teenage boy assaulting his grandmother, another disturbing video has emerged.
Posted by TV personality Siv Ngesi on Instagram, the video shows a man violently fighting with an elderly woman, believed to be his mother, in a kitchen.
The clip shows the woman, who is trying to defend herself, being punched and slapped until she is forcefully pushed out the door, falling on her back.
“Trigger warning‼️ While some of us would do anything to just get one kiss or hug from their mother, some are abusing them!
“Make this man famous and jail him! He needs the community to speak to him! The person recording needs an ass kicking as well!” Siv captioned the video.
The video has sparked outrage, with many celebrities and the public condemning the violence against the elderly.
Jennifer Bala said: “There is a special place in hell for such people. And I understand that people are scared but after sufficient evidence was recorded, the person filming should have recruited a few people I see in the background to gang up on him. I don’t care what started this: it’s atrocious!”
Spitch Mzawumbi: “What is going on?? Is this a thing? Like you just beat you mom like that?”
