Violence erupts after black woman rejects white man’s advances
During Saturday’s Currie Cup clash between the Golden Lions and Sharks in South Africa, violence erupted after a white man grabbed a black woman’s rear.
Witness Sijadu Mzozoyana said that the woman had been infuriated when the man grabbed a handful of her rear end while rugby fans were leaving the match.
“There was an altercation between a white man and a black woman. This gentleman physically grabbed the black lady’s bum. She was upset about it and she slapped him across the face and started screaming at him‚” he said.
He claimed that he then heard the man tell the woman to “shut the f** up you black k****r”.

“He said this more than once. I then walked towards him and asked who is this k****r he was referring to. Before I could get to him‚ a group of white guys came up and stopped me. I didn’t want to throw punches. I wanted to speak to him,” he said, adding that he was “agitated” that people kept him from getting to the man.
“I would like to meet the guy and make him understand the extent of racial tensions that exist in this country because of people like him. If people can openly speak in this manner‚ people can be killed because the people you refer to as k****r are our mothers. It (the word) carries more weight than f**k you‚” said Mzozoyana.
Since then, the Lions have condemned the incident, and stadium manager Mike Erasmus said that an investigation into the incident is underway.
“Ellis Park Stadium (Pty) Ltd as well as the Lions Rugby company will never condone this type of behaviour and take strong exception to this,” he said. “We will do anything possible to get to the bottom of this unacceptable behaviour. We have started an investigation.”
