NEW: Security camera footage of the attack on Black teens at a pool in South Africa provides a more complete picture of what happened. You can see a white man stopping the boys at the gate & almost all the white swimmers getting out of the pool when one of the teens gets in.

The father of one of the boys attacked was an anti-apartheid fighter and said witnessing the assault felt like reliving the horrors of apartheid. Read more here:

@jeligon As a white racist, why would you put through yourself through the agony of living in Africa where you see black people every day and share facilities with them? Just go and find your own planet where black people don't exist.

@jeligon So much to unpack: - the lies about a 3 year old being assaulted first clearly disproven. Along with the nonsense narrative peddled by some folk - the white kids jumping out when the black ones jump in - this was naked racism. End of story.

@jeligon While this is sad and incredibly fucked up this shouldn’t come as a surprise given that they were in South Africa. Still glad attention is being brought to this incident.

@jeligon @sekoukaba45 It’s crazy after all these years they still have a symbolic hatred toward melanin people. They don’t know that we are evolving as long as they hate . There manifested a horrible future for the there self

@jeligon It's shocking how the kids get out of the pool. At such a young age, racism is already that deeply entrenched in them?! What a shame

@jeligon Notice how it’s the older whites that gets out the pool the moment the black boy jumps in, while the younger white children seems to be unbothered.

@jeligon Has anybody maybe thought that the reason people got out of the pool was because they could see danger about to unfold and for their own safety, taking themselves out of the situation? But let’s rather make it racial.

@jeligon According to William, this is PART 2 of the situation. Show us the first part, where a 3 year old was pushed in by the 18 year old "child". Clearly this footage is of the boys come BACK and the issues pre-empted by the guy closing the gate.

@jeligon The wife of one of the accused Klaassen posted this on her social media after the incident a video by Willem Petzer purporting to be the true story. This was possibly going to be their version if this security footage didn’t exist 🙆🏾‍♂️ 1.

@jeligon Dear John, As a journalist, I hope you have published all the contents of the CCTV footage at your disposal. If there was an incident (where a child was pushed into the pool) prior to the incident in the footage, then you have a duty of fairness to make it available.

@jeligon And there is no footage of the alleged 3 year old. All I see is a black kid jump in to swim and all the white racists get out. I see a grown man slap the child in the pool. This country REALLY needs to be rid of these vile racists
