  "account": "A video has surfaced showing a man threatening women at a Sandton restaurant, which has since gone viral on social media. The incident took place at Vlamo restaurant in Sandton Gate, where the man can be heard angrily confronting women inside the ladies' bathroom. During the confrontation, the man threatened to \"murder you now and walk\" and claimed he could buy and own the restaurant. He also insulted one of the women, calling her a \"cheap b**ch.\" The footage shows the man continuing to threaten the women despite being recorded. Vlamo has distanced itself from the man, confirming he was not affiliated with, employed by, or associated with the restaurant. The restaurant stated that the incident was immediately addressed, and the individual was removed from the premises. Vlamo emphasized its zero-tolerance policy for any behavior that compromises the safety or experience of guests. The video has reignited discussions about violence against women in South Africa, where nine women have been found dead since July, prompting renewed calls for greater action to protect women.",
