Yes that is true the cleaners did not have a gun held to their head and could have said no, but for some strange reason they went along with it. This does not condone the behavior of the boys who were responsible for it and they should be dealt with severely.

Something else that bothers me is that on Wednesday 27 February, if im not mistaken, during the 7pm news on etv the presenter interviewed two men(a white man and a black man) who are suppose to have insight into such incidents. Im not quite sure exactly who they are though. What I would like to say is that she handled the interview extremelly poorly. She attacked the white man to such an extent that it seemed as if she is under the impression that racists incidents like this do not happen in this country and that this isolated incident shows that its only whites who are racist.

Im a coloured and the fact of the matter is that racism occurs amongst all race groups and is rife in this country. To single out one race, which is what that presenter did, is completely unneccesary and wrong. Its sad that racist incidents are such a common thing in this country but thats the reality of the situation. That female presenter either needs to get her facts straight or choose her words and approach more carefully.
