An Elsies River woman accused of forcing another woman to eat dog faeces as punishment for allegedly sleeping with her boyfriend is being investigated.

A video of the incident has been circulated on social media.

It is reported that the perpetrator, a nurse, also forced her victim to take tablets and drew her blood to do an HIV test.

Western Cape South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) commissioner Chris Nissen says a criminal case has been laid and that a preliminary investigation is underway.
