The officers are part of the police security team protecting South Africa Deputy President Paul Mashatile, his office confirmed on Tuesday.
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate , which handles cases of misconduct by police, said it had opened an investigation into the alleged assault of the driver of the car and his passengers by police officers.
The video was recorded by a person in another car not involved in the incident and posted to Twitter. At least seven police officers, some of them wearing suits, were involved and the video shows at least three of them kicking and stomping on the two men. Two of the officers seen kicking the men are holding rifles while the third has a pistol in his hand.
The statement from Mashatile’s office said South Africa’s national police commissioner had “promised a thorough investigation.”
