****** at the Gold Reef City Casino

I endured the worst kind of ****** at the casino. To note, all this was directed as my husband. Early hours of the morning of the 18 January 2026 (3am), my husband and I were playing at roulette table AR07. My husband asked the dealer to get a waitress for a drink, the dealer (a female) who was polite by the way said this would depend on the croupier Eddie. We can pay for our drinks (we ordered water as a note). My history at the casino can atone for how often we visit and what we spend. However, irrespective we all deserve respect! My husband politely says to him he needs a drink as he is thirsty (jokingly), Eddie in turns says to him "Yes when I'm thirsty, I go home to drink." My husband was sitting on the side by the dealer, and the rope pole was bent over. Eddie walks over to my husband and tells him not to knock over the pole, my husband says I didn't knock it over. Eddie smirks and says to him "You did and if you knock it again you must leave!" then walks away. Not too long after that another man the same race as Eddie comes to the spot next to my husband and bends the pole placing his bets. Eddie doesn't acknowledge or confront him as I saw him look at the man and look away. To not instigate a problem, as mentioned we are frequent patrons of the casino, I didn't confront him and decided to report this matter for escalation. A second man of the same race as Eddie comes and bends over knocking the pole once again, pushing my husband and even stepping on his shoes. Where is Eddie you ask, ignoring the fact once again. Then I realised, why was he very blatantly disrespecting my husband because he wasn't the same race. I would like to state; I have been a patron for years at the casino. We have had many dealers be rude and we brush it off. What the dealers don't realise is that my husband speaks Zulu and he understand what they say to the other patrons at the tables. I am of mixed race; my grandparents endured the worst kind of apartheid due to the black and white segregation. I might not look mixed race but my bloodline shows otherwise. That is why people like Eddie upset me so much, families were tortured and broken so that their bloodlines could be in a free SOUTH AFRICA. We are South Africans and to be treated poorly because someone doesn't like other races. I would like to say we were defined by a race during apartheid however with almost 3 decades into democracy there is better ways to treat anyone who shows respect. I also confirm that the video footage based on the timeline stated will show exactly what I have described, no exaggerations. I know Eddie won't face any disciplinary for his actions, but I suggest arranging teaching him etiquette and perhaps a lesson in diversity since he is a part of the RAINBOW NATION.
