WATCH: Local passenger on flight to Johannesburg escorted out for refusal to wear a face mask

FlySafair has confirmed that the video circulating on social media with an irate passengar refusing to wear a face mask and being escorted off the flight is real. 

An unnamed man on board the aircraft launched into a tirade after being asked to wear his face mask. 

The video was captured by a fellow passenger. In the video, you can see and hear the unruly passenger shouting at the cabin crew and pointing his finger to anyone who tried to get him to adhere to the mask wearing COVID-19 regulations. 

You can also see other male passengers in the video trying to intervene in the situation by trying to separate the cabin crew and the man at the helm of the chaos that was ensuing. 

The incident is said to have taken place as soon as the the doors of the aircraft were closed and the stairs were retracted.
