• A man ends up in the cross fire of the protest action after his leg catches alight along with some of the burning rubble
• Luckily the man seems to have survived the wild ordeal but has left Mzansi online users in stitches with laughter

South Africa is known for its heated protests which usually involve the burning of rubble on the road in a call to action. However, in video posted recently a man’s leg also caught alight among the debris.

The clip posted on Twitter sees a group of men protesting on a road as they chant and throw tyres onto the fire. One man approaches holding what looks like fuel in a bottle which he pours onto the fire to ignite bigger flames.

South Africans react to Parliament building fire reigniting

Briefly News previously reported that locals on social media were critical of the efforts undertaken to extinguish the fire that engulfed the Old Assembly building of Parliament in Cape Town.

The public backlash comes after the fire that ravaged the building on Sunday morning re-emerged on Monday afternoon, seeing fire emergency services fighting against the elements to control the conflagration in a windy city centre.

A 49-year-old man is in police custody on suspicion of causing the destruction and will appearance in court on Tuesday. Parliament spokesperson Moloto Mothapo confirmed the re-emergence of the fire, citing it as puzzling as all the stakeholders involved believed it had been completely put out.
