Villagers outside eMaxesibeni, formerly Mount Ayliff, in the Eastern Cape, carry their dead across a dangerous-looking rope bridge because a shoddy permanent concrete bridge used by cars is flooded by overflowing water.

A shocking video surfaced showing two men carrying a coffin to a funeral, carefully walking on the wobbling rope bridge, over the weekend.
