Some people really don’t know how to handle their dop.

We saw police dishing out punches and firing warning shots as an ‘after tears’ gathering spiralled out of control in Mpumalanga on Saturday, and now there’s another video from the same province.

This one features some serious haymakers, and has led to those fighting being banned from popular watering hole ‘Oppie Plaas’.

Footage of Wednesday night’s fight was sent to Middelburg Observer, with The Citizen also picking up on the story:

Daleen Swarts, owner of Oppie Plaas, says she is currently on holiday in KwaZulu-Natal but knows of the fight.

“I wish the law could be made that young people under 21, even under 30, are not allowed to drink! This was again a few young men who only had a few beers and started fighting.”

She understands that a remark was made, after which the wild fight started. However, no one sustained severe injuries.

Swarts says those involved have been banned from visiting the venue again.

It also appears that one of the women in the video is using paraffin to try and break things up, which she pours into the brawlers’ faces from time to time.

Not a tactic I’ve seen used before, but I suppose necessity is the mother of invention.

To the brawl footage we go:

My favourite part was somebody shouting “julle is gemors” around the 1:05 mark.

Still, not a good look, and not a mask in sight.
