In South Africa, 28 years after apartheid, individual racist incidents are causing a stir.

A black man is said to have been refused entry to a tavern in Cape Town because he was not "accompanied by a white man".

A video in which the expelled man's white friend confronted the bar operator circulated through social media at the beginning of the week.

"This racism reveals the psychosis of many white supremacists who are still trapped in a racist worldview of white exclusivity and the old days of apartheid nostalgia," the EFF parliamentary party said on Monday.

The left-wing populists are planning a lawsuit against the pub operator before the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC).

Meanwhile, observers applauded the fact that the white South African man denounced discrimination against his black friend in the video.

For the pub, however, it rained criticism.

In addition, some draw attention to the irony of the incident: the owner of the club is said to be the same man who also owns the neighboring restaurant called "Love Thy Neighbor" - in German: "Love your neighbor".

Further income differences

South Africa ended racial segregation with the election of Nelson Mandela in 1994.

While differences in income delay social gatherings, racist incidents continue to make headlines.

Last month, a white South African woman drew ire at Johannesburg when she called for "blacks to be banned" in a debate over breeding pit bull dogs.

Black South African women should have their wombs cut out, the woman said literally.

She has to answer in court in the new year.
