“I’m a very nice guy. I’m a very giving person‚ but my forefathers will kill me if I had to give R2 to a white guy.”
That is what a man says to a white beggar in a video which has tongues wagging on social media. The video starts shortly after the white beggar asks for R2 to buy bread.
“My man‚ where were you when white people were taking black people’s stuff? Where were you?” the man in the car asks.
The beggar is unsure how to answer and says he lives in town. The person filming the video retorts that there are many struggling black people.
“For me to give you R2‚ I’d have to be the last man on Earth and you need to have a gun in your hand.
“White people are murderers‚ my man. You’ve killed our forefathers. You are here illegally and you still want me to give you a R2.
“My man‚ I feel disrespected. I’m sitting here nicely‚ working in the beach‚ in the ocean and relaxing and you’re coming here to disturb me. Why are you doing this my brother?”
The beggar replies: “I am hungry.”
Some said the video was uncalled for.

Beggar video ‘uncalled for’
Video footage of a white man being chastised while begging for food is going viral on social media. In the video, the driver of a vehicle stops to tell the beggar he won’t help him because he is white. Other social media users defended the beggar, saying the driver’s behaviour was uncalled for.
