Discriminated and Humiliated in Public by ACSA Security!!! Hats no at ACSA - but WIGS yes????

I am a man and was absolutely INSULTED and HUMILIATED at OR TAMBO Airport, in public to take off my cap and put it in a basket when I went through security.

I asked why should I take it off. The guard said for security purposes.

Right before me there was two Black ladies one with a knitted hat and the other one with a headscarf on and they both went through without being asked to take it off.

Next to me was THREE Black ladies that went through with WIGS on. NONE of these people were asked to take it off and put it in the basket.

I asked the guard why should I take it off but not them. He didn’t answer me. He just said it is a security risk.

My cap is my head decoration and I do not like to take it off. I never ever take it off, because I am bald.

Why am I discriminated against??? Is it because I am white?

People with wigs can look different every day. And they can smuggle anything underneath it. The same with the one lady with the traditional headscarf and the other one with the knitted beanie. Is that not a security risk????

Why is it that I was humiliated in public and discriminated against??? Why did I have to take off my cap and put it in a dirty basket going through dirty rubber slats that touches thousands of people’s suitcases and belongings and then I must put my cap that is contaminated all over back on my head. My cap cost R600. Some of the wigs the ladies buy is not even R300 in China malls and Pep.

I pay so much for my air ticket. I pay alot for my parking there at the airport. I support the businesses at OR Tambo. ACSA get a cut off everything. But I have to be HUMILIATED in PUBLIC!!!!

IS THAT HOW ACSA OPERATE??? Is that how customers are being treated????!!!!

Tell me how is the knitted hat, lady with wigs are not security risks. South Africa is suppose to be a non-discriminative country and everyone is equal. But apparently NOT!!!!!!

I am appalled about how I was treated. I will circulate this on social media every day for the rest of the year to make people aware of the **************. I will take videos and put it on Tiktok. Until ACSA apologises and undertake to never ever do it again!!!! And treat me with respect and me equal to any other lady with traditional head decorations and WIGS on!!!!!
