South African landowner forces man into coffin, threatens to feed him to a snake

KwaZulu-Natal: In a shocking incident, a South African landowner was accused of forcing a man into a coffin and threatening to feed him to a snake. The entire incident was captured on camera by his accomplice and uploaded on social media, sparking outrage.

The video is believed to be shot at a farm in KwaZulu-Natal, a coastal South African province.

The 20-second video clip shows a man wearing khaki coloured hat, shirt and short pants, probably a farmer, trying to stuff the wailing victim into a coffin, threatening to set him on fire.

He not only forces to man into the coffin but also threatens to set him a blaze. In the video, the man can be heard saying, "Get in, I want to throw some petrol."

The accused's accomplice who shot the video, is then heard saying that he will put a snake in the coffin.

The video clip ends with the men closing the lid of the coffin while the victim cries in terror.
