Please could you help me identify this insect!

I had to upload the video to YouTube to share to this forum. Geographic location in Cape Town, South Africa.

It has weird outward working forceps and no abdominal pincers like your regular earwig.

This thing looks terrifying !

Quite the musical critter.
