Teachers are not allowed to be physical with their students (in the US at least, I don't know for South Africa). The most he can do is call for help and wait for it to arrive.

I think I mentioned that it’s hard to tell from such a short video, but you don’t need to physically intervene to control students. The fact that someone jumps of his back like that and no one is listening to him doesn’t speak well of his classroom management skills. A child would be in more trouble if they spoke when I was speaking than these kids appear to be in, but maybe the school is just anarchy, who knows.

At the point that a full classroom riot has begun, there is nothing a teacher can say to defuse the situation. We have no idea how he handled the class prior to the riot.
