Racism is common in the human society, and despite the fact that almost everyone is stored of dealing with, it can’t just stop happening.
Boity Thulo seems to be the latest victim of racism and she can’t just keep it to herself.
The South African TV star, who spent the festive week with her family in Mozambique, hasn’t recovered from the racism incident directed at her.
She says, “The last time I had this many arguments/altercations with racists was back when I still lived in Potchefstroom. St Lucia is filled with rubbish beings. I go from 0 – 100 in a blink of an eye when it comes to racism! Ba nyela strong!.”

Recounting her experience, Boity says she went to a restaurant to get some takeaways only to be told they have closed as at 1:00pm.
To her shock, the restaurant was filled with ‘white people’ who were eating.
“Yesterday, we went to a restaurant at about 1pm to order some takeaways. As we sat down, one of the waiters came to tell us that they won’t be able to serve us any food or drinks because ‘the kitchen is closed’ but the rest of the people (all white) at the restaurant were eating.”

She, however, lashed out in Sesotho, saying she was tired of racism.
Despite sparking controversy with her tweet, Boity didn’t give the name of the restaurant as people got bothered to know. But she did express her exhaustion with dealing with ‘these dogs’.

We are also vacationing here, I've never been so disgusted, racism is a norm here.
