Here’s What Will Happen If You Challenge A Racist In South Africa

If you happened to be at the Cape Town Sevens this weekend you might have had yourself a good time. Not everyone played nice though.

An unfortunate reality of living in this country of ours is that every now and again you’re going to hear someone showing their absolute ignorance. Financial advisor Don Johnstone had that moment on Saturday whilst watching the Blitzboks take on Kenya at Cape Town Stadium, one ‘fan’ calling South Africa’s Seabelo Senatla a “baboon”.

As Johnstone exited the stadium he confronted the fan, “telling him he was racist and there is no room for such behaviour in South Africa”. It was then that the two men came to blows with this below the result:

eNCA with this:

“The police arrived about 20 minutes later, after the racist (had) left, but we went to the charge office to make a statement. Then I went to go watch the rest of the rugby with one eye.”

Here’s hoping the Blitzboks winning the tournament helped ease Don’s pain. As for that other bloke – well you know what they say about karma…
