What is more disturbing is the woman shooting the video and not doing anything about the abuse but ignores phones calls coming through so they can keep recording. The woman is heard commending the old lady for her actions.
You can watch the disturbing video on the Fourways Review.
As the case evolves, more information will be made available.
