Nigerian men beat 2 SA women over alleged theft
An alarming video has emerged on the internet, depicting two South African women being attacked by a group of Nigerian men following an alleged theft incident.
The video, which is circulating extensively on social platforms, illustrates the women being hit with a belt and slapped numerous times within what seems to be the premises of the men involved.
The details regarding the items that the women were purportedly accused of stealing remain undisclosed, but their faces were prominently visible in the footage.
This event has sparked intense discussions online; while many denounced the violence, others used it to rekindle persistent hostilities between South Africans and Nigerians.
One X user expressed: “Imagine a refugee attacking you like this in your homeland! South African women are getting what they deserve. They created their situation, now they must endure it. You can make choices, but you are not exempt from the repercussions.”
Another remarked: “If you don’t take care of your women, we will step in to assist.”
Conversely, not all opinions sided with the assailants.
One user denounced the actions of the men, stating: “Why resort to theft just to be perceived as tough? Sigh… those individuals need to face justice; you shouldn’t harm a woman like that.”
