Spur, Wimpy respond to racist threats
A social media post went viral, threatening to contaminate Spur and Wimpy's food with semen and saliva.
Popular food outlets Spur and Wimpy have sought to control potential damage to their business after a racist social media post went viral, stating that food served to white people would be contaminated with saliva, semen and faeces.
The Facebook post by a Smanga Mphephetse Ndukuzabafo said:
“We are recruiting our people who work at food outlets, bars, homes and other places. Waiters, cooks, domestics. We asked them to make sure every food ordered by the so-called whites, before they serve they must spit a bit of saliva, mucus, phlegm, urine into the food just to humiliate these animals. I got an update this morning by a woman who works at Spur. She says she took a small packet with faeces-kak and mixed it with the marinade and serve those ribs to whites. We started this project in March and its coming along very well. Another report this morning at Wimpy one guy put semen into someone’s breakfast. How cool is that? How does our semen taste guys? Lol.”
The restaurants said customers should not be concerned as preparation of food was constantly under strict supervision.
Wimpy said in a statement franchise owners and managers were always present in the restaurants and kitchens.
“They physically monitor food preparation and service quality throughout the day, according to strict, predefined procedures which include random spot checks and over-the-shoulder monitoring.”
Spur Steak Ranches said its food was prepared in the public eye and was difficult to contaminate as most Spurs had cameras both in the kitchen and the restaurant.
“Our training department implements intensive and ongoing operational, hygiene and sanitation training programmes to all staff. We are proud our customer base is racially diverse, as are our management teams and waiters.”
It is believed the instigator, Smanga, regularly posts destructive and racial statements to attract attention and a viral response.
Spur said: “The social media post is a clear and obvious attempt to create viral damage to restaurant brands and should be treated with the contempt this blatantly racist and baseless nonsense deserves. We will be taking legal action against the originator of the post for the malicious, slanderous and false statements which were made.”
