The report said he was at the mall, would you also go all corporately dressed in suit, tie and shoe just to pick up a few groceries?

Yes, from work i could buy some groceries at the mall with my suit, tie and shoe on.

The OP was simply mischievous by putting/ adding the first picture that has nothing to do with the incident knowing that a lot of people will comment without watching the video...... Why didn't he/ her present the image/ information the way it was instead of misleading the people by putting a picture of a man on a traditional swimsuit

I think this tweet relates to your statement.

What he wore there is an African attire worn for certain purposes and situation. That's a Zulu attire worn to war.
So what message is he sending to other shoppers?

He even came with an arrow!
That's obviously a weapon

Don't you think it's his right to remain static if he so chooses, if it doesn't harm anyone else?
it harms some people else. He caused public nuisance

He's a cultural activist and author.

Anyway, in civilised societies laws are put in place to protect minorities from the tyranny of the majority. Just because the majority don't like it doesn't make it wrong.
do you think it was only our forefathers that wore esoteric attires? This was the way forefathers of the current Europe dressed. Do you see any European dressing like that recently? Why has some Africans refused to move past the 18th century?

Do you see Chinese people dressing in their 'cultural' attires today

Had there been no colonisation "Nigeria" wouldn't exist either. Think about it.

Anyway, most SA tribes don't wear animal skins, e.g.

Pic 1 - Basotho
Pic 2 - Xhosa
Pic 3 - Venda
Pic 4 - Ndebele


Such magnificence.

Hey TMKsouth kindly create a thread showing full South African tribes, their outfit and traditional building styles.

Thanks.

Seriously, I don't know who to side in this matter, they are both right and wrong.
The mall owner is wrong.

Like the man said, he is in Africa and you can't tell him not to dress in his African attire. What of small white people that wear only bra and pants (with a transparent top which reach their thigh) to visit same mall? They always claim harsh weather ba?

That incident is a summary of most South African inferiority complex. Anything white is good to do whatever they feel like but blacks, hatred and xenophobia will be directed towards them. (Just like animal farm, two legs good, four legs bad)

The mall owner should have only told him to temp move the mask as it looked like a terrorist disguise. Other wears are cool.

Those people are entertainers, artists....


On a norm, they dress differently and properly


What they wore in that pics is just props and costume

It's d traditional wear of south Africans. There women still wear very revealing clothes and open breasts during their female initiation ceremonies

But, this is ridiculous.

Can he dress like that to a job interview or a business meeting where he suppose to sign a deal of 200 milion rand.

A classic case of attention seeking.

Nowadays, even mad people cover up.

Stop making such analogies

A mall is not a job interview.

At the mall, this man is a customer and customers are king.

Being a Zulu, people ought to appreciate him for taking a bold step to preserve his culture.

There's something wrong with the black man.

...but millennial girlfriends of the manager running around on beaches and the countless summer body showoffs can be accepted dressed no different. Haba

The beach is an APPROPRIATE place to wear a bikini, not a shopping mall...

I don’t even wanna imagine where this dude will be pulling out his cash or credit card from. embarassed
