People gasp and a child can be heard sounding distressed in the background as an adult tries to reassure the youngster.
Bizarrely someone shouting, 'Help me, I need a Lamborghini,' can be heard in the aftermath. It is possible that the man was saying something in one of South Africa's official languages.
It is not clear who is shouting.
The 'Kindergarten Cop' star posted video on Snapchat of right before the kick.

Schwarzenegger posted throughout the day on his Instagram story as he watched kids show off their crafts at the massive sports festival that is judged.
The actor played chess against an entire team, watched archers, admired native dancers, played softball and pool and watched endless sporting events before going to pet some big felines.
It is unknown what will happen to the man and Schwarzenegger does not plan on pressing charges, according to a statement from the Festival.
'Mr. Schwarzenegger has confirmed that he has no intentions of laying charges. He views this as an unfortunate incident by a mischievous fan,' the statement added.
The statement further explained that police in the area are familiar with the man and have had issues with him at events in the past.
A representative from Black Circle Communications, who released the statement, told DailyMail.com that the man was a 'known mischievous person' who has been handed over to the police.
'Police are currently processing everything and we are waiting on them to get back to us but Arnold has been so generous with everything,' spokeswoman Cassandra Gudlhuza said.
