Sannah Mchunu was horrified by the viral Spring Day videos circulating on social media.

The former Gomora actress, who recently joined the cast of Generations: The Legacy, was heartbroken while watching people get soaked in water by rowdy neighbourhood kids.

South Africa celebrates Spring Day on 1 September, and typical traditions include children spraying each other with water.

However, what was once a cheerful day celebrated by youngsters as they welcomed Spring was reduced to a display of chaotic behaviour by South African youth.

"The way I would have caught a beating at home for pouring water on the elderly."

kolobeboikanamarven wasn't impressed:

"It's funny how South Africans have been battling water crises, but seeing how water is wasted in this fashion, it's disappointing. It's not really about having fun. There are places to have fun without wasting water. People go to swimming pools for this."

"This is getting out of hand now."

mulisaraidimi was disappointed:

"How can one differentiate between animal behaviour and this behaviour? There's no difference. Some people are busy studying, some are investing their energy in things that will benefit them in the future, and then there's us darkies. I don't want to hear anything about witchcraft, you're just dumb."

zae_moyo responded:

"Instead of working, they are busy traumatising people. What kind of fathers are they gonna be?"
