WATCH: Video of mom drinking at event with toddler 'strapped' to her back goes viral
A still image from the video posted on social media.
Durban - Some tweeps are calling for President Cyril Ramaphosa to send the country to level 9 after a mother was caught at an event with her toddler on her back, while she partied and consumed alcohol.
The clip of the mum with her baby, tied to her back with a blanket, has since gone viral on social media.
In the 30-second clip, she is seen in the crowd and later, as the videographer pans out, the woman is seen consuming alcohol.
The video has left lots of social media users concerned and asking why the woman has not been reported to the police.
Surely this is illegal... you can love nake and groove this much, surely not. 🙆🏾 pic.twitter.com/c5CZkas4X5
