EFF STATEMENT ON THE RACIST INCIDENT THAT TOOK PLACE AT MASSELSPORT RESORT AND CONFERENCE CENTRE
Monday, 26 December 2022
The Economic Freedom Fighters in the Free State today responded to the racism incident that occurred at Masselsport Resort and Conference Centre where two young boys enjoying their festivities were harassed by white men with absolutely no genuine basis.
The EFF condemns in the strongest terms the despicable racist act and the leadership immediately attended to it and called the police who laid charges. The leadership further visited the resort today to meet with its management and face the white men.
We blame Masselsport management for enabling such actions by having a whites only pool that made those white racists think that's the space for white people only. We are further disappointed in the failure of the Management of Masselsport to correctly deal with this act of racism on their facilities. White people need to unlearn the logic that they deserve their own space, this is the highest form of nonsense that have been tolerated for the longest of times.
We believe these actions of racism are being perpetuated by the ANC due to their lack of decisive action as well as a rubber glove approach to racist conducts in the province and it comes as no surprise that days after the ANC conference that re-elected Cyril Ramaphosa as President of South Africa white people feel this bold and entitled.
