BLACK PEOPLE cannot enter with pyjamas.

Good day

To whom it may concern...

This is a complaint with regards to treatment by Richard Goodwin the Manager of Spar Clubview, centurion.

This morning 09/08/2020 on WOMAN’S DAY whilst preparing breakfast I discovered I was short of a few items, due to the fact that I live in proximity of Spar Clubview I did not panic I headed over immediately-as per normal when the unexpected occurs.

I was soon approached by the Security Guard who instructed that I leave the store due to the fact that I was wearing pyjamas [full coverage].

This was an instruction from Manager Richard Goodwin who initially denied having given the instruction as he acknowledged/agreed that is was not law. However later admitted that he was imposing his “opinion” of what patriots (according to instructions given to security guard-BLACK PATRONS ) should wear in order to purchase essential goods during this pandemic.

In the midst of the confrontation with Richard, a white lady walks in with a Pyjama top and is not informed of the same request.

I need clarity on the following...

1. What is the Dress code to enter Spar stores? 2. Is it appropriate for Managers to impose their ‘opinions’ on the conduct of patrons? 3. Is there a racial preference as to who should follow this code of conduct? 4. What is going to be done about Spar Centurion and Richard Goodwin as this is not the first discriminatory indiscretion.
