A 19-year-old teenager seen assaulting his grandmother in a video that went viral on social media last night has been arrested. The teenager, known only as Luvo, from Wallacedene in Kraaifontein, was arrested by the Kraaifontein Police last night.
The video recorded last month shows the teenager demanding food from his grandmother, who responds by saying, “There is no food for you here.”
Subsequently, the young man can be seen slapping his grandmother multiple times, causing her to fall on her knees spilling the food. The young man went on to warn his grandmother not to be too familiar with him and continued to assault her.
“Luvo, why are you killing me in my house. Have you been sent to kill me in my own house. Kill me?” The gogo said while the young man continues to threaten to beat her while pointing a finger at him.

Western Cape police spokesperson Colonel Andrè Traut said the Kraaifontein police registered a case docket last night when the video emerged on social media.
“The victim was traced to a hospital where she is being treated for an ailment not related to the assault, but she declined to submit a statement,” Traut said.
Traut said the police investigations revealed that the incident occurred in June at the residence of the victim and that SAPS were summoned to the scene.
