WATCH: Bloemfontein man wearing swastika armband in a Wimpy goes viral | Cape Argus

Cape Town - On Sunday, a video of a man wearing a swastika armband while eating his meal in a Wimpy restaurant in Bloemfontein quickly started trending on Twitter.

The swastika, usually clockwise, is a geometrical figure and an ancient religious icon in the cultures of Eurasia. It is used as a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions. It was used in many different cultures for at least 5 000 years. However, the symbol with its oblique arms turned clockwise became the national symbol for Nazi Germany due to Hitler.

"Also today, on the outskirts of Bloemfontein. Looked like a gathering of some sort as there was a fleet of cake." The fact the the Wimpy there allowed him tells all you need to know about the area. It needs to be dealt with.— Mr D June 23, 2019 — UDF Cabal June 23, 2019 Wimpy responded to the incident saying: "We've been made aware of a video showing a customer depicting Nazi insignia - eating at one of our Bloemfontein Wimpy restaurants. We take matters of this nature this very seriously and are investigating this. It seems like the customer may have been participating in a World War II Operation Barbarossa commemoration event that took place this weekend in the area.
