SA woman opens case against person who shared viral abuse video
After a video of her partner abusing her went viral online, this woman begged South Africans to stay out of her business - claiming she did not need their help.
A few days ago a video went viral of a woman being abused in a video by her boyfriend after she received private messages on her WhatsApp. Absolutely shocking!
This video has since made its rounds on social media after everyone was disturbed by this mans bravery, to do what he did to this poor lady.
In the video you can hear him angrily making the girlfriend let everyone know that they should send messages to her via their WhatsApp group and not individual personal messages.
Watch shocking video below:

After this sad and eye-opening video made its rounds on social media, Themba, the abusive partner, felt that something had to be done, so he dragged his girlfriend to SAPS at 02:00 to open a case against the Facebook accounts that distributed the now viral video.
Not that putting her through so much pain and embarrassment was enough, he then proceeded to dictate to her AGAIN what she should say in another video she released under the pretence of her being 'lawyer'.
In this video, she begs South Africans to stay out of her business and to leave her alone, she carries on to state that she is fine and safe.
Watch the video below:
Here is the full video. The bugger Themba is still heard in the background barking instructions.

It's really sad that we have come to a point of only being able to helpfellow sisters on social media platforms due to the level of abuse some women endure from their partners.
We urge you to voice your struggles if you find yourself in an abusive relationship.
Read what concerns people on social media had:
Not Themba still dictating what she should say😒😒😒 this is more than abuse. It's torture. She's gonna pay for that video coming out, let's hope it's not by death. What do we do at this point?

Guys if Themba is not arrested by tonight..... We are failing ourselves in the fight against GBV.

That video circulating of a woman being beaten by Themba is making my blood boil. Arrest that piece of sh*t. Every day a woman is not safe around a South African man, you don’t get to put your hands on a woman, very disgusting!!!#ArrestThemba

Prince KB also had something to say about the matter:
My other concern is that there’s other Themba’s out there who never make it to social media, that do this on a regular, I think about that alot 💔 https://t.co/RsrzW4leq2
