Racial Bias

On 08.02.2026, I attended NNK at 2 De Grendel Road, Jan Burger Sports Complex, Parow North, Cape Town, 7500.

This venue is commonly perceived as catering predominantly to white patrons.

As a coloured person, I experienced treatment that reflected this perception.

Despite being a regular patron, I observed that service and attention appeared directed primarily toward white customers.

Despite my direct request for assistance, staff did not address me; instead, they directed the matter to a man seated at the bar, identified to me as the owner.

My request to review CCTV footage was dismissed by him without engagement.

This incident reinforced the impression that service and accountability at NNK are not extended equally and that racial bias influences how patrons are treated.

As a person of colour, I found this response dismissive and troubling.

I am documenting this experience to ensure there is a clear record of the discriminatory nature of the interaction and to request that it be formally reviewed.

I shall, on my own and legal way, take this forward.
