EFF Struggle Songs At 30 000 feet on FlySafair Flight Spark Complaints, Claims of Hypocrisy and a Fierce Online Backlash

What's trending online

EFF supporters chanted Struggle songs on a FlySafair flight on Thursday, sparking complaints, but say the outrage is hypocritical as it has been done before, and unopposed'

@Bassil_Sabelo People are busy complaining about those EFF fighters singing in the plane, but cheered this one on? This is also a FlySafair flight by the way

@jordsnax The people on this plane didn’t seem to mind.

@JamieGi91799907 A single person walking up the isle singing for 30 seconds on his way to the toilet is very different to 20 aggressive people standing for a long period of time in the isle trying to intimidate and irritate passengers and creating a potentially dangerous situation.

@mmlets When it’s black it’s wrong, when it’s white it’s right.

@nick_wolmarans Nothing wrong with singing, as long as it isn’t Kill The Boer, on a public flight. The issue is occupying the aisle and endangering themselves and the fellow passengers in the event of turbulence.

@Nuke_theicecaps The difference is that this is an exhibition of European excellence, and the EFF singing is an exhibition of k***** with monkey manners. Very annoying.

@BzeebBenny It doesn’t matter who does it, it is wrong. When I’m travelling and minding my own business, I expect peace and calmness around me. Where exactly do we draw the line? Behaviour like this is simply repulsive, and it doesn’t have colour, black or white.

@nkosiang EFF sang so nice, shem, it was a jam and people enjoyed it – whites and black.

@ll0101 It’s not about who, is about the skin colour, sometimes we need to put it clear and straight without favour and fear.

@RamaboduObakeng Dear cowards who always comment to impress white supremacy and racism, insulting us for singing Struggle songs in a flight, calling us names because of your inferiority complex problem: This is also a FlySafair flight, please stop impressing racists just stop.

@masurpi Disagreeing with bad behaviour doesn’t mean supporting racism. A plane has rules for everyone. Turning every criticism into ‘white supremacy’ is lazy and dishonest.

@tpnontulo Black people are such conformists and it is embarrassing.
