White man threatened us with 'gun' - Rhodes protesters

Durban – A peaceful protest by a group of Rhodes University students turned tense after a white man brandished a “gun” at one demonstrator on Tuesday.

It is believed that the altercation became racially fuelled after white students in a car approached the African Street barricade and were stopped by peaceful protesters

The race card is so old right now... You guys need to think of something new

Agree with OP. It's like reading a censorbugbear article.

You cannot be stopped by peaceful protesters..... they are not peaceful if they stop you! That is a complete oxymoron...

According to the article,

Speaking to News24, Sim Gayika, a student protester recounted how the incident escalated.

One witness said a conversation ensued between one of the black protesters and two white men in a vehicle – also believed to be students.

"We were all just planning ourselves logistically when these two guys drove up here. A woman with us went up to them and asked for a lighter. They were speaking and she calmly said something regarding white privilege.

"One guy jumped out of the vehicle. We saw this and went through to make sure he was not beating her or anything. It was at this point she said another one of the men pulled out a gun and told her she must know."

Oppidan Press editor-in-chief Stuart Lewis said he believed protesters would not have instigated the incident.

"We have been on the ground with these protests and they have been nothing less than peaceful."

Bizarre story though...

Yah, when you impede on other people’s rights, then it isn't peace, pulling a gun (whether it is a toy BB game) is the same.

It is newsworthy for its rarity. Only other time you see a firearm in a white's hands is in the hands of the always-white criminals depicted in security product adverts.

My thoughts are with the students who put their lives on the line in our struggle against the system that has been put in place by the white men 200 years ago. Amandla viva!

Why is this hard to believe "They were speaking and she calmly said something regarding white privilege."

Good day, sir. May I borrow your lighter? Before you answer, would you mind talking for a minute about your white privilege?

What a load of bull****.

The government must fall. They are no different from the last Apartheid one.

If they were democratically elected it is what the people wanted..
