Mozambican salon owner allegedly destroys her business after South Africans demand she vacate.

A beauty salon in eMthonjaneni became the scene of a dramatic confrontation after a Mozambican business owner allegedly destroyed her own equipment when she was told to vacate the premises, claiming she would rather leave with nothing than hand the business over.

A video shared by Inakho Production shows the woman pulling down posters, dragging salon equipment across the floor and ripping mirrors from the walls before smashing them onto the ground.

A crowd gathered outside the salon as the incident unfolded. The confrontation allegedly followed demands by a South African business group for the woman to leave the salon to make way for another operator.

A man can be heard telling the woman: "We're not here to play games. Take your possessions and give us the keys to the building."
