IITS NOT THE COULER OF THEIR SKIN- ITS HOW THEY ARE BEHAVING, LOUD AND WITHOUT ANY CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

Im white and i think that it is rubbish that monaco was closed i agree that the mess is a problem but they could have reached an understanding

I hate people hiding behind their pigmentation! Trash is trash, white or black. If owners cant control their patrons then they must lose out.

Safety is a concern. Why always make it a racial concern if there is a problem!

For the record: Im a white woman. There has always been a problem in the streets there, not just since the club has opened!

What crap clubs all over get closed why is now racist - what TRUTH?

Poor journalism thats one sided, SABC! Not watching your program anymore.

im a white man 20 years old i think that it is a free country black. blue. red. green

Condemning bad behaviour does not equal racism.

Thats the most biased special assignment episode ive ever seen! I generally find the show very informative and objective.

Disgraceful racism from a chauvanist, sexist fool

Why can't we just accept the fact that we r all brothers and live in peace racism is over-rated !?

The footage used in the program is not of the relevant parking lot

Honesttly i dont see why they should shut Monaco for no good reason and leave dirty clubs like Teazers still in operation its pure racism

Its not about black or white people or white people who wants to close it. ITS A DRUG VALLY AND UNSAFE! ! !

the whites are making it so hard 4 themselves in this country by being racist.

this makes me angry. Its time white people accepted their south africanness - maybe theyd discover a whole new experience.

My right to swing my fist ends where your face begins. Race should not become a licence or excuse to behave in a way that harms others.

IF A NIGHTCLUB NEGATIVLY AFFECTS THE OTHER ENTERTAINMENT VENUES, CLOSE IT DOWN. HOTDOG STAND VS. LARGE RESTAURANT? THERES NO COMPERASON.

Whites need places where they can be amongst people of their own culture. South Africans must understand that our different cultures will never mix

Never before was my intellegence so insulted by obviously biased reporting. Hurry for an un- biased broadcasting corporation!!

The planned closing down of Monaco is indicative of the prevailing racism in SA and its shameful!

Most of the people inteviewed 4 Monaco are foreign. Others pay rent the street vendors arent welcome, they litter, this is not a squatter camp.

Ive already experienced racism at a club. We were the only 3 coloured guys at a club in Midrand & were forced 2 pay at a club thats normally free.

Not a true representation. Did you expect ANY misbehavior with TV cameras rolling? Visit the areas with couvert cams...

Im a boere girl. So teasers is a club for decent whities. Thats bull. I rather be seen in monaco, than teasers.

Polititians r quiet, we as youth need 2 b vocal

Integrity and respect for others is the key words for success and not blaming aparheid.

Black people (or any race) must realize people are judged on their behaviour, not the colour of their skin. If they are unruly and litter and carry on like thugs, they will never be welcomed by composed members of any society.

racism as a generation problem - intolerance to the youths prefered method of relaxation and entertainment.

more needs to be done to promote acceptance of diversity before our country will be truely renewed.

Very, subjective, as the national broadcaster I wouldve expected you to give the facts and leave it to the individual to draw their own conclusion

BOYCOTT RIVONIA UNTIL MONACO RETURNS. TWO GRANNIES SANDTON

wev seen n heared from 2nites episode but whos gona do a ting if platforms lyk parliarment r ignoring such issues of late, whilst the only ting such issues do 2 youths lyk us is 2 invoke spirits dat raised giants lyk Biko 2 fight 4 tru fridom. da struggle continues!!

Racist stereotypes mar our society. I shudder 2 think tht wev ignorant people who signed a strip club owners petition & made him their voice?

ironic a strip club trashing a black club. what about drunk white guys behaving badly? have worked in the industry and enjoy going clubing have seen the good and bad of white & black clubs why cant they just come up with a solution that would benifit all without pulling the race card

That was a completely biased piece of journalism. It is disappointing to think that that constitutes as fair comment. It was a one sided attack by a journalist who clearly knew which angle she was going to pursue before doing adequate research. I do not disagree that racism exists in ALL areas-but that was not even an IMPLIED assault on whites so much as a blatant attack. No wonder racism still exists.

to not take responsibility outside your club and allow people to run amock only reduces the area to little or on business

interests & beliefs & values r the issue maybe a club aimed at exuberant younger folk is out of place in an area established 2 serving upper middle clas

you will find this has nothing to do with colour and more to do with safety of residents! As a media representive you are fueling fires of racial tension rather than acting responsibly and reporting nuetraly

Not racialy unacceptable but socially unacceptable - urinating. breaking of bottles & vending io the streets? UNACCEPTABLE! HULIGANISM SUCKS BIG TIME!!

whinin whites! u shame me as a white. why stop others fun? oh it must be so patrons lower themselves at teasers or like u drive your cars way ove+ +r limits.
