Mzansi wants to 'terminate' man who attacked Arnold Schwarzenegger
South Africans want to cancel the man who attacked American actor, politician and former body builder Arnold Schwarzenegger (71), who was in the country for his Arnold Classic Africa festival, which took place at the Sandton Convention Centre on Saturday.
A video of the incident went viral. It captured Schwarzenegger being kicked in the back and tumbling forward.
And if you have to share the video (I get it), pick a blurry one without whatever he was yelling so he doesn’t get the spotlight.

By the way... block or charge? pic.twitter.com/TEmFRCZPEA
Thousands took to Twitter to express their embarrassment at the incident, insisting that they wanted to 'terminate' (see what we did there?) the man.
Others said that no matter what happened, Arnold 'would be back'. (Sorry, we just can't help ourselves).
Do me a favor: instead of sharing the video of the guy who wants to be famous, watch some of our @ArnoldSports athletes like this young hero proving that fitness is for everyone who deserve to be famous. They’re on my Snapchat. pic.twitter.com/EuMynJ7t1n

Dude dropkicked #ArnoldSchwarzenegger, but instead of knocking down the Governator, the guy bounced off Arnold's back and fell to the floor where he was immediately apprehended. Arnold thought he was jostled by the crowd, nothing more. Wow!

@Schwarzenegger @ArnoldSports You are a true hero! You were supporting sports in South Africa, were physically attacked, and managed to handle the yourself professionally right after. That attacker should receive battery and assault. @southafricanmag #ArnoldSchwarzenegger
