A disturbing TikTok video has surfaced, showing a group of young white South African boys using racist and vulgar language towards a black man during a live stream on a popular social media platform, Cape {town} Etc reports.
In the video, the boys repeatedly use deeply offensive slurs, including the k and n words, sparking outrage and highlighting the persistence of racial prejudice in the country.
The clip, which has quickly gone viral, has drawn widespread condemnation from viewers who are horrified by the open display of racism. Many South Africans have taken to social media to express their anger and disappointment, emphasising that such behaviour has no place in a democratic and diverse society.
The incident is a stark reminder of the painful legacy of apartheid-a system that institutionalised racial segregation and discrimination against the black majority in South Africa for decades. Since the fall of apartheid in 1994, the country has made significant strides towards reconciliation and unity, striving to build a society based on equality, justice, and mutual respect.
However, episodes like this show that racism remains a deeply ingrained issue that still needs to be actively addressed.
