Tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu says the racial incident that occurred at Maselspoort Resort and Conference Centre near Bloemfontein on Christmas Day was an embarrassment to the government.
Tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu visited the Nakedi family after the racial incident at the Maselspoort Resort and Conference Centre near Bloemfontein.Nakedi thanked the government for all the assistance and also highlighted that it was the second time his family had experienced racism at the resort.
Sisulu said the tourism industry was central to economic growth and development and should be nurtured in such a way that it knows no discrimination.“Tourism provides us with an immediate communication platform to sell to the world the beautiful nation we are and our commitment to become a prosperous destination full of offerings for the visitors.”
“No racial group should take advantage of the industry to discriminate and act violently against any other racial group,” she said. It depicted white men ordering a black teenager out of the water, then hitting or shoving him back in, grabbing a child by the throat and pulling his hair as the fracas escalated.
