Traveller outraged when a Spur waiter in East London was left a measly R4 tip 'for hungry Africans' by racially abusive teenagers.
Spur described the behaviour of the teens at the time as atrocious."We do not condone use of derogatory, racist or sexist behaviour or language," management earlier said in a statement.
The traveller urged Xolani not to allow the bigoted actions of others to fill him with self doubt and said that there were still good people out there. "Please hear me on something. I’m not wanting to play the hero card here by sharing this. It would indeed be a chilling chastisement of our times if people had to be honoured for doing what is right. That should be a given. I’m also fully aware that giving money in this instance doesn’t really solve the larger issue and may just be dressing a wound," he said in the note.
"We live in an age where it is no longer enough to simply be good - we have to do good. Through ordinary people's hearts being broken by the reality of poverty, allowing themselves to be transformed and then placing their heart, hands, and feet in intellectually and relationally uncomfortable places," he added.
Spur management was contacted for comment on the tip but did not respond at the time of publishing. Xolani declined to comment.
