The popular Mojo Market in Cape Town has been scrutinised after a controversial video made the rounds on social media.
In the video, a group of men can be seen snorting a white substance off a table at the market during broad daylight.
One man can be seen using a card to section off the substance into five lines and cutting a straw into smaller sizes.

The men then proceed to snort the white lines off the table using the straws.
TikToker user Kiki Ngubelanga, who witnessed the disturbing sight, filmed the incident and posted it to her profile.

"I simply found the behaviour disturbing as the establishment is family-friendly," Ngubelanga told News24.
"No matter the substance, that behaviour is wrong because what is it teaching kids?
"Whenever I'm there, there's always kids around. Even on that day of the incident, a family with kids sat where those men were after they left."

According to News24, the owner of Mojo Market, Graeme Robinson, said there is āzero toleranceā for any illegal behaviour at the market.
Although the incident could have been "a prank, a smear campaign, or an attempt to generate [online] engagement, using clickbait," it has still hurt the establishment.
"It would be useful to appeal to these jokers to come forward to clear themselves firstly of any wrongdoing or criminal activity."
The substance has not yet been identified, but the incident is currently under investigation.
