Veteran musician Ringo Madlingozi has responded to a video of thugs robbing an older man on a Pretoria street, describing the criminals as "kids attacking people like a bunch of dogs".

The video, which has been shared on social media for several days shows a group of men assaulting a person after pushing him to the floor. They walk away from the scene like nothing happened, making off with some of his belongings. A nearby worker watches the scene unfold and looks at the men but does not move.

Ringo shared the video on Instagram this week and slammed the police for not doing enough to secure our streets.

"Where are you when we, as citizens can see these bunch of kids attacking people like a bunch of dogs, meanwhile SAPS is unable to deal with these thugs?"

He said the country was being held to ransom by hooligans. 

"We cannot be held at ransom by small kids with dangerous weapons while students, fighting for noble causes are easily killed on our learning institutions."

Ringo claimed that during the 2010 soccer World Cup robberies were solved within a week, while nowadays you waited for months to get updates on cases.

He described his own experience with crime after his car was broken into by thugs using a signal jamming device at a petrol station four years ago.

Ringo said that after all this time he still didn't get justice.
