TWEEPS BLAME GOVERNMENT ALLEGED RACISM SCOURGE

A number of tweeps have taken the opportunity to blame President Cyril Ramaphosa’s government and leadership for the alleged racism that was witnessed in the video.

@joe_teffo wrote: “There have been many incidents of racism, and our government keeps tiptoeing around the blatant scourge of racism because they are ill-equipped to deal with it. We should impose harsh sentences for those found guilty of racism”.

@DubaKC wrote, “Get into the faces of these racists, let’s make every inch of SA uncomfortable for them. We will chase them out of our country ourselves since the ANC government can’t deal with them decisively”.

TWO SIDES TO A STORY?

Another user has claimed that that there is always two sides to a story and the other side is alleged to have been that the two boys were not allowed to stay in the picnic area

“The other side of the story is blissfully not mentioned or stated. There was a cause for this, and it was not based on race. Day visitor s are supposed to stay in the picknick area. Swimming pool area are for overnight campers. So start there. Two sides to the story, and truth,” said @woordsmokkelaar.

The family of the two boys who were assaulted have opened a case against the men responsible.
