Pizza deliveryman tells of ordeal after driver tries to knock him down – and records his attempt
A BLACK pizza deliveryman targeted by a white driver using racist slurs says if the man were sitting in front of him right now, he would tell him: “Tears came into my eyes when I saw the video on YouTube.
Omoefe Acboriyede, 36, was speaking to The Herald just one day after finding out that what he had initially brushed off as a minor fender bender was in fact a vile racial attack.
Acboriyede works as a deliveryman at Debonairs in Newton Park and lives in North End with his wife and child. He reported the incident to his manager as a minor bumper bashing.
But the video footage posted on Facebook‚ apparently recorded by the white driver on his cellphone, has dramatically changed perceptions of the shocking incident, which happened in Port Elizabeth.
The target of the premeditated and potentially deadly racial attack, Acboriyede, was not only described as a “pizza k****r” by the unidentified driver, but the man also filmed himself callously attempting to run Acboriyede down at a busy intersection in Cape Road.
