I am more astonished at how so many people ignores that the man grabbed the lady’s daughter 'aggressively' by the arm. Maybe ENCA will be more convincing, you know, the Rupert’s white biased news channel.

JOHANNESBURG – Spur has reviewed its CCTV footage after an incident over the weekend.
The company has confirmed that Ms Lebohang Mabuya’s version of events is accurate and that the aggressive male customer did indeed grab the child in her care.
The incident was filmed at Texamo Spur at The Glen Shopping Centre in Johannesburg.
To add the HUFF POST,

The video of the altercation circulated on social media. Mabuya explained that her child and the man's child were involved in a scuffle earlier on. She said her child had complained to her on several occasions that they were fighting. She then told her child to sit at the table and not play.
"[The children] went back and when the guy's daughter slapped her, my daughter retaliated. That is when that customer came to our table and shouted, saying my daughter banged his daughter's head against the wall. I asked him if it was OK for his daughter to hit my child, and I told him I [didn't react before this] because kids will be kids. He grabbed my kid by the arm and told his daughter to hit her. When I stood up to take my daughter away from him he called me [a] p*es and said ***** you," she said.
At some point in the video, a woman who might be the person recording the incident is heard telling a man: "Mo tlogele ba tla thusa ba mo Spur." (Leave him, the Spur people will help). Nobody helped.
It is known in this thread that some do not believe the Spur's statement and that it may be manipulative, some are more inclined to believe two other witnesses’ accounts made by Johan and Marilize Lloyed in supporting the man’s position. Just to put this out there, apparently, N*** and Johan Lloyed are close buds in Krugersdorp. This being said by Krugersdorp's own residents. Social media, hey...
In social media, elsewhere, a little abused American girl is misleadingly being used to prove to the public that the man was in his right. A picture, which is even now, being continuously circulated even when proved otherwise. Pathetic, never have I seen such a childish cause. False reasoning, this argument should have ended with Spur’s statement, but no, ego is more important. Yes, people are making this a white vs black issue, not everyone, but it is in the public's narrative.
This man with his admired bravado don’t even have the balls to apologise, but she did,

“We also recognise that Ms Mabuya apologised in recent media statements for her inappropriate language used in this incident.”
This is where I’m starting to lose touch with people. The only reply to this will be, “...but, where is the Spur’s CCTV...”, please stop.
There is one important aspect to law in SA, don’t **** with children. I support this.
I'm done here. Over and out.
I feel the same way, I have been reading all the threads on this topic and quite frankly my dear, I don't give a damn !
looks like Spur was covering up the whole thing all along
