WATCH: Westbury protester drops p-bomb on live TV, says ‘julle ma se p**se’

Earlier today, Westbury protesters found other means of making their voices heard when one resident took over an SABC broadcast during a Morning Live crossing and shocked viewers with his choice of words.

It was earlier reported that the protester used the k-word, but this has since been amended, after it appears what he says sounds very similar, but is actually saying “rol daai k*k oor.”

Speaking to LeAnne Mannas from the scene, a journalist named Lopang Alamu attempted to interview one of the residents standing nearby while a number of other residents surrounded her. The man proceeded to grab Alamu’s mic and spew profanities into the camera before the feed was cut abruptly.

Viewers took to social media shortly thereafter to express their concern over the safety of journalists who report live from scenes of conflict.

Alamu later addressed the situation on social media.

She has since confirmed that she made her way back to the studio unharmed.

She confirmed that she and her crew were threatened and said she did what she thought was best given the situation.
