A video of an angry customer in the Scottburgh KFC in Durban this past Friday has gone viral.

A Durban councillor, Roy Bhoola of the Allied Movement for Change, has also threatened to lodge a complaint with the SA Human Rights Commission against the man in the video who called an Indian manager at a KFC outlet a c***** and a k*****.

The C-word here is a derogatory term used to insult Indian people. It’s as offensive as the K-word.

The racist outburst was apparently brought on when the customer ordered a Zinger burger, but received a kiddies’ meal instead, reports IOL.

Maybe he should have considered acting like an adult?

Here’s the part of the rant that was caught on camera:

Another shining example of living, breathing racism in South Africa.

Bhoola said: “This type of racial slur can’t be tolerated and goes against the ambit of our Constitution.”

He met with the outlet’s manager and a formal charge was laid against the customer at the Scottburgh SAPS.

“The use of racial slurs towards both Indians and Africans is unacceptable and disgusting, and is an attempt to devalue these individuals,” he said.

The manager of the branch, Dicky Mudaly, said that he had spoken to the customer on the phone before he came back into the store.

Mudaly said the customer later stormed in without the receipt, and did not bring along the incorrect order either, and demanded to speak to him. In the video clip, the customer is seen leaning over the counter, pointing his fingers at the manager and shouting.

The customer becomes enraged and hurls more obscenities at the manager. He then shouts out something in Afrikaans, while the manager responds: “I won’t swear (at) you, but do you have a right to call me a k*****? I will call the police and arrest you now.”

The customer goes on to say: “Black people got culture, you have f**** all. To steal from me. Third time you steal from me now. You want to arrest me, come you f****** c***** k**. I know what your face looks like, you f****** piece of shit.”

Charming.

Mudaly intends on suing the customer for using racial slurs.
