Gas Motor Show investigates viral altercation involving gender-based violence
Post
|June 18, 2025
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
AN INVESTIGATION has been launched by the organisers of the Gas Motor Show after a viral video captured an altercation involving three women and a man, which raised serious concerns about safety and gender-based violence at the event.
The footage shows two women hitting each other. One of them falls to the ground. A third woman then helps the woman get back up.
The woman, who had fallen, then attacks a man in the crowd; and the woman who had helped her, then hits her. The man then punched the woman and she fell to the ground.
The show’s head of safety and security, Percy Govender, said preliminary investigations revealed that the group were under the influence of alcohol, and the altercation stemmed from jealousy.
“These types of videos are edited and show what people want to show. The woman in the video had seen her ex-boyfriend with another woman at the show. She hit the man and cussed at him. He walked away, but then he came back and punched her during the altercation.
