An incident during an interschools rugby match has tongues wagging across Cape Town after a racial slur was allegedly used during the game on Saturday, August 1.
A rugby match between The Settlers High from Bellville and Fairmont High from Durbanville ended abruptly after one of the referees stopped the game after a racial slur was uttered.
It is alleged that a learner from Fairmont High School used the k-word towards a learner from The Settlers High.
In footage of the game, which has since gone viral on social media, a voice can be heard saying: “I think I need both coaches here. There was a k-word going on here, and I won’t tolerate it. I am going to call the game, unfortunately. I can’t be part of racism, guys. Do you understand? Call the coaches for me”.
Social media users have expressed outrage at this incident, many calling for action to be taken against the guilty learner/s
