Terence Makapan, who was at the centre of a racial attack in Stellenbosch at the weekend, is overwhelmed by the response he has received since posting about the incident.
"The response has mostly been positive," said Makapan. "Some were bad. I decided to not look at the comments because it did start to affect me negatively."
The 24-year-old from Camps Bay was visiting friends at Stellenbosch University when a man called him a "hotnot'' and then physically attacked him. He has laid assault charges with the police.
