'I turned around and it was a teenager with an electric shaver. He had tried to shave my ponytail off.'
Jessica Manim was in Pick n Pay in Cavendish Mall in Claremont, Cape Town, on Thursday, staring at jelly beans, when she"heard a buzzing next to my ear"."I turned around and it was a teenager with an electric shaver. He had tried to shave my ponytail off.""He kept trying to get his shaver at my hair, he had a cellphone camera in hand so I assume he was going to film it for a prank.
Manim said:"I know it’s 'a harmless prank', but a man getting into my space like that and trying to cut my hair off without my consent has made me feel violated and shaky. Maybe I'm overreacting because I’m very emotional today, but man I feel shaken and angry and tearful. PS my hair is fine. Thank god."
Later someone sent Manim a link to a video of the prank posted on Instagram. The video featured Manim and two others.Not sure if it makes it better or worse. Someone just linked me to a video posted on Instagram of this happening to me and 2 others. Clearly a prank with no real intention of cutting my hair, just upsetting me.
