I just got STRANGLED by an Afrikaans man in the middle of @PicknPay at Featherbrook center after his wife called my helper a Kaffir unprovoked and I approached her about it. Why these people get away with such still baffles me!

The former Live Amp host has opened a case against the perpetrator.
I have opened a case at Honeydew police station, thankful for the speedy process! I’m off to Pick & Pay to view the footage so we can trace him and his family
