Another video has surfaced, clearly showing the high level of domestic abuse in the country. The sad reality is that abuse has become so rampant such that it is almost a normal daily routine for some. The heartbreaking video doing the rounds on social media shows a man clad only in shorts and some socks being beaten blue after allegedly having been caught bedding another man’s wife.

The man is recorded ,forced to say I was caught with someone’s wife and beaten up. He wails and moans as the whips descend on him much to the amusements of those inflicting harm on him. The video has caused so much outrage.

Another video showing a woman being assaulted by another lady also caused furore last week. The woman had her hair cut with a knife and was beaten with clenched fists and booted feet. Her crime, gossiping about the other lady. Such disturbing incidents have left a dent in societal values that uphold the dignity of fellow human beings.

Most people have spoken out against such abuses. Even the law does not sanction people to take the law into their own hands. Even more disturbing is the fact that the perpetrators of violence actually ask to be recorded as they go about such heinous acts.

The videos come at a time when the whole world is protesting the death of George Floyd at the hands of the police. He suffocated to death after a police officer knelt on his neck. The reality on the ground is that even in households and communities, abuse has become a daily norm and most victims never report the incidents
