Is Julius Malema correct at what he did? The other day I was at the Steers branch at the Total Garage, Cnr Malibongwe and Northumberland and we found this young White lady and her brother were placing an order with the cashier. The lady wanted a special order and because no one could understand what she was actually looking for going forth and back, she started being irritated and started hauling insults at the first cashier who eventually left her and called another cashier to assist. The lady was furious for some reasons unknown. She then called them names and asked them if they even understand English. They were speaking English all along though. She demanded a manager. Shocked to find a Afrikan manager, she relayed her order to the manager who also didnt understand what the lady was looking for or why she was so angry. The lady then asked for the owner of the shop and still calling the useless and stupid. The cashiers and the manager stood there patiently and calm during the entire episode of attacks. Her brother visibly embarrassed tried to calm her down. Many of the customers including myself started to enter the fray and confront the lady about her rude behaviour and unbecoming manner. She left the store all mad. This behaviour is not new from White people, we get it all the time, from work, shops, telephone conversations, roads etc. the question is what if we retaliate? What if we fight back? What should Afrikans do? CERTAINLY, We cannot go on to tolerate such nonsense in the name of keeping a job. Julius Malema probably couldnt stand hearing how his people are being insulted and that provoked his emotions. I expected him to do that, I would have wanted him to do that but also empower the workers to fight back.
