An official of the City of Joburg has been suspended following a racial incident at a public swimming pool!

According to City Mayor Herman Mashaba, the incident took place at the Eldorado Park swimming pool in Joburg, last week.

The official was allegedly verbally insulting one of the pool’s security guards.

The official was reportedly overheard regretting the use of school facilities in Eldos by black children.

He also referred insultingly to what he called “black mentality.”

Mashaba said that a case of crimen injuria will be opened on Tueday.

Mashaba said that there is no place for racism, which must be condemned and addressed decisively.

“Racists must never feel that they can operate with impunity or that their behavior is acceptable in any circles,” he said.

“I call upon the residents of the City to condemn racism, ensure that our collective voice is one that unites our country, overcomes the pain of our past and builds a prosperous and more equitable future for all.”
