Gauteng police have opened an investigation into the disturbing viral videos from the renowned Zanzou nightclub in Pretoria. The videos showcase acts of extreme violence and torture allegedly perpetrated by the club's bouncers against patrons who reportedly failed to settle their bills. The clips, which are highly graphic and depict severe human rights violations—including acts tantamount to kidnapping, sexual assault, and attempted murder—show men hogtied and filmed naked with their limbs bound. The owner of the club, Stephane Cohen, has distanced himself from the incident through a statement posted on his social media platforms. The team and listeners share their thoughts on him passing the buck even though he owns the establishment.
