The incident garnered the attention of social media users over the weekend as they expressed their disgust at the symbol, which is not only associated with World War II, but also right-wing paramilitary groups.
“Wimpy has been made aware of a video showing a customer depicting Nazi insignia eating at our Fleurdal Mall restaurant in Bloemfontein. We do not condone discrimination and take matters of this nature seriously. We have immediately launched an investigation into this matter,” Wimpy marketing executive Jacques Cronje told News24 in a brief statement.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation has argued that it should be, but lobby group AfriForum opposed them in the Equality Court.
Do you have to have a dress code to eat at the Wimpy. What a flipping joke.
Maybe he had gone to or was going to a fancy dress party.
I saw three people today having the communist hammer and sickle on their shirts, communism did kill many times more than Nazis did. Please investigate.
One guy? Random restaurant? lols
What 'incident' ? Some idiot sat there in a Nazi uniform, which is not illegal even if it's distasteful. Nothing happened at all. ONE person tweeted a photo. Stop trying to manufacture outrage, idiots.
