The clip went viral after he was seen physically manhandling women inside the salon, leaving Mzansi absolutely outraged.
South Africans were quick to point out the deep irony in the situation. Many online users argued that the man himself did not look like a local.
The video was shared with the caption asking how anyone could justify the rough treatment of women under the banner of targeting illegal immigrants. It is not clear who the man is or which salon the incident took place in at the time of this report.
Mzansi has a few words
The clip lit up social media with thousands of people sharing their anger and disbelief at what they witnessed. Many called the behaviour xenophobic and inexcusable.

Some commenters pointed out that the man could easily blend into neighbouring countries without raising any suspicion. Others warned that manhandling any of their female relatives would have serious consequences.
A few voices attempted to draw a line between the anti-immigration marches and this individual’s actions. They argued the broader movement is about labour and civil concerns, not violence against women.
Most South Africans were not buying it, though. The general feeling was that no cause gives anyone the right to put their hands on a woman.
