WARNING: The following video may be triggering to sensitive viewers and survivors of assault.
South African social media users have expressed their dismay after a video was posted showing men at a taxi rank sexually harassing and forcefully stripping young girls.
In a video posted by Twitter user @_This_Is_Bee on Wednesday evening, a young girl wearing a crop top and jean shorts can be seen running through an unidentified taxi rank, followed by a rowdy group jeering of men.
One of the taxis in the video bears a Mpumalanga number plate.
Women at the taxi rank can be heard in the background shouting for the men to leave the young girl alone.
She is then pulled out from the group of men by a friend of hers, who can be seen wearing a white dress that is then pulled up by one of the men, leaving her buttocks exposed.
The 30-second video ends with the girls trying to make their escape.
