Social media is ablaze as a video is doing the rounds on social media showing two black youths being attacked by several white men in a pool at the Maselspoort Resort and Conference Centre in Bloemfontein.
According to Twitter user, @Tumii_Frost, her family wanted to spend the day at Maselspoort Resort and Conference Centre for a relaxing Christmas, when her brothers “were attacked by these grown men because they are apparently not allowed in the pool as it’s reserved for the ‘white people’ here.”
Frost noted that her brothers are 13 and 18.
In the video, a white man is seen slapping the younger black teenager who is then thrown back in the pool when he tries to get up. The man then appears to try to choke another black teenager.
There are attempts to break the fight up but it escalates when the younger teenager’s hair is pulled. The video ends as when a man is seen dragging the older teenager by the head into the pool.

According to Frost, who is also a radio broadcaster at CUT FM 105.8, a case has been opened with Glen Police, who confirmed a case of assault.
Frost said she was ‘appalled’ that the management at Maselspoort ‘insisted that the event is not racially motivated’. In another tweet, Frost said the family was told by management that they overreacting.
Free State MEC for the Department of Economic, Small Business Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs, Makalo Mohale, will be meeting with the management of Maselspoort Resort and Conference center as well as getting in touch with the family and victims.
While some expressed anger at the incident and demanded action against the men, others took to the resort’s pages to bombard it with negative reviews.
The resort declined to comment on the incident.
