Demi-Leigh, who's a white South African was on Wednesday
spotted at an event hosted by Sun International at a children’s home in
Soweto, serving food and interacting with children at the
orphanage while wearing latex gloves.
After the photos made rounds on Thursday, thousands of South Africans went on Twitter to criticised Nel-Peters and they also accused her of being a racist. The hashtag #MissSAChallenge began to trend on Twitter as they poked fun of the "hygiene" reason which they cited for the gloves.
Consequently,
she posted a video, explaining why she was wearing gloves in the
pictures saying:
“I just want to clear something up. All the volunteers on site wore gloves today because we honestly thought that it’s the right thing to do while working with food, and while handing out food to young kids. That was our only intention with wearing the gloves, was purely to be as hygienic as possible,” she said in the clip.
Not everyone was satisfied with her response as some are still making fun of the gesture. See their comments below...To everyone asking about the gloves, I truly hope that you'll hear my heart and understand that it came from a place of wanting to do good. pic.twitter.com/Pl5amM2gEM— Demi-LeighNel-Peters (@DemiLeighNP) July 5, 2017

that they have is because of the white man. now that there is no more white man to blame they are now looking for racism even where there is none.

Stupid black south Africans, they are the most racist people in the world with a very low self esteem.
ReplyDeleteBut she was touching their food. Do we want her to pass her germs to the young ones. Why are we so touchy with racial issues?
ReplyDeleteI seriously think she has good intentions
ReplyDeleteI saw this on fb and I was angry with her buh then I read thru d comments and saw pix o other blacks with gloves too working with the children. Then I wondered why they singled her out for criticism when their fellow blacks also wore gloves. Well shebi na una allow whites to take over una country so need to cry jst enjoy the take over period
