A family’s Christmas was marred by a racist attack at the Maselspoort Resort in Oranje, Free State, on Christmas Day.
Twitter user, Tumii Frost shared the violent attack her brothers were subjected to because they decided to make use of the swimming pool which was apparently “reserved for whites only.”
Tumii shared that her family were visiting her for the festive season and had decided to spend the day at the Maselspoort Resort and Conference Centre.
She recorded the moment when adult white men physically assaulted her teenage brothers, grabbing them by the neck, punching and pulling their hair.
One of the white men actually grabbed one of Tumii’s brothers by the neck into the pool and submerged his head into the water.
It is unclear if he released the teenager, but appeared to be trying to drown the boy before the video ended.
The video has sparked mass outrage on social media over the blatant racism that still exists in parts of South Africa.
Tumii did not indicate if her brothers were injured or if they had reported the incident to police.
Maselspoort Resort did not offer comment on the incident.

Family came to spend the day @ MASELSPOORT RESORT & CONFERENCE CENTRE in Free State. My brothers were attacked by these grown men because they are apparently not allowed in the pool as it's reserved for the "white people" here.
