The video footage showed a group of white men attempting to kick two Black teenagers out of the resort's pool area — and then one of the white men became violent and tried to strangle one of the teens.
The men seen in the footage alleged that the swimming area was for "white people" only, according to local reports.
The incident took place at The Maselspoort Resort sits, which sits just outside the Free State's capital, Bloemfontein.
In the video, one of the teens can be seen in the mostly empty pool as an older white man reaches down and attempts to grab him from the water.
The young boy then gets out of the pool and attempts to push the man back before he was forcefully shoved into the water. The physical violence caused another teenager to confront the white man, who then turns his physical aggression toward the child, as he is seen pushing and then choking the boy.
Several bystanders attempt to remove the white man from his grip on the boy but the situation continued to escalate further.
As the boy is being pushed against a wooden fence surrounding the pool area, the white man's hands are still firmly grabbing him.
Next, another white man, who was not inside the pool's fence, reached over and grabbed one of the boys by the hair before the child managed to wrangle himself free.
With chaos surrounding the children as more bystanders flood the area, one of the older white men seen at the beginning of the footage is shown with his arm around one teenager in a headlock-type fashion before they both plunge into the pool, aggressively intertwined with one another.
The teenager's father claimed that his sons were told by the group of white men that they were not allowed in the area, although the father insisted that his children informed them that they were residents who had the right to use the swimming facilities.
See these incidents happen to the wrong black kids.
It is almost 2023 and black folks are still dealing with some of the same racist shit we dealt with in 1923.
Had this been my kids it would have gotten ugly real fast.
