Does that footage show whose child was causing the trouble in the first place? It probably does. But I guess Spur know better than to go sprouting the truth in South Africa. Especially if an evil white person is involved.

One of his classics...
Note how all his harshest criticism is reserved for the lady. Maybe he is Nico Viljoen...
no, that started the aggression. it lead to the arguing and the rest we saw.

ever see tick addicts and how they can carry on in public and with direct confrontations? only because i know what they look like after long use and their nature, am I able to draw a similarity between what she looks like and how she acted.
I don't need to point out the guy is a dick(or insert insult / description), everyone can see it by the way he acted. some clowns seem to think this god parent is innocent because of her skin color or sex.

I am not sure of any alternate ways to define a victim and abuser this statement doesn't make any sense to me please explain.
I think if a woman was hitting a man in public people would definitely film that and it would be doing the rounds but that is not the scenario here so I think it is irrelevant to this particular topic.
Please don't misunderstand me I think that they are both at fault he just took it to a different level by getting physical.
#Spur mom: I had to defend myself and the kids
In an interview with The Star on Tuesday, Mabuya said she had to overcome fear and defend herself and the six children with her from a disrespectful and aggressive “bully”.
She was at the restaurant celebrating her god-daughter’s third birthday with five other children on Sunday.
“One of the kids kept coming back from the play area complaining that another child kept slapping and pinching them. I told him to try and avoid the child – when she goes one direction, go the other,” she recalled.
Mabuya said soon after, the aggressive man came to her table complaining about her child beating up his daughter. Despite the man’s “imposing” figure and no intervention from the restaurant, she said she felt she had to stand up and defend herself “whatever the consequences”.
“I was so scared but I told myself what should happen must happen, but I won’t allow myself to be disrespected like that. If he had an issue, he should have approached restaurant management, not approach me. I felt disrespected as a black woman,” she said.
However, Mabuya said she was not proud and “regretted” her use of foul language in the presence of the children.
Speaking to The Star on Tuesday, Spur chief executive Pierre van Tonder defended his staff’s delayed reaction. “I think our staff and management were more in a state of shock and that caused them to be a bit slow in their reaction. We have learnt our lesson and will be training our staff to better deal with such situations.”
He described the man’s behaviour as “bordering on barbarism”.
Only childminders in the play area, he said, were trained to deal with such circumstances but said this would have to change.
Meanwhile, the man featured in the video has been banned from all Spurs countrywide.
The clip sparked a flurry of social media responses. Public outrage sparked a #BoycottSpur hashtag.
Spur on Tuesday issued a statement condemning the incident.
“We do not condone any forms of violence against women or children, irrespective of the circumstances."
"We are shocked at the adults for behaving in the manner they did, especially with so many children around. We have investigated the incident with Texamo Spur staff and management, who expressed that they did in fact try to intervene, but were pushed away numerous times by the angry male customer Staff notified The Glen Shopping Mall security,” read the statement.

She is lying a little in that article. She makes it seem like she is a perfect angel & didn't tell him to **** off a million times.
I do however think she is 1 of the few women to stand up to him and that is when the **** hit the ceiling.

It would be the correct approach but it is possible that the circles he mingles in could share his sentiment and applaud his behaviour or be too afraid to stand up to him.
you could be correct, in my experience(not used myself) roids cause much more and irrational aggression than what we saw most of the time. had a friend I used to make go ballistic and laughed at him.
juice junkies tend to go completely off pop. I suppose it also depends what stage in their cycle they are.
yea this guy could be a juice head, didnt strike me at first though.

Oi! Leave me out of this...
Crazy sex could be good for your soul though.. but only as a one-night stand. Nobody needs that level of crazy in their life.
