The horrifying video was posted on Twitter by Arrive Alive in the early hours of Sunday morning. 

According to Times Live, fire and rescue crews had to cut through doors and security gates to reach an injured man who fell from the 10th floor of the burning building. 

The person who took the video could be heard screaming in panic "Oh my God, there's someone in there." "Anyone help, there is someone in there" before switching off the camera to call for help. 

Netcare 911 spokesperson Shawn Herbst told IOL that the man, believed to be about 40-years-old, had jumped from the window of the tenth storey and landed on the sixth floor.
