A person in the news Lasizwe Dambuza is having the best time of his life in Spain, but he has had to deal with racism there.
The content creator talked about being profiled because of his race on social media. He thinks he was singled out because he is young and black. Lasizwe says that police stopped him at the airport because he wasn’t wearing a mask. However, masks are not required.
“So I got racially profiled. The police in Spain stopped me inside the airport and asked for my passport then they told me to wear my mask (bare in mind it’s not mandatory in Spain to wear masks anymore except for when you are in a public transport)”
He says no one was wearing, but he was asked to wear it or face an arrest. “They told me if they catch me without a mask at the airport they were going to arrest me or fine me when I looked around at the airport NO ONE WAS WEARING MASKS (also bare in mind it’s just white people here. Black people are a 1:1000 scale here) after the security check point.”
His followers took to the comments section to sympathies with him.
Sorry that you have to experience such a horrible treatment from those police officers, after having a great time there

He recently joked about his dancing skills after he shared a clip showing him getting down and said his dance moves left a lot of people in awe, but social media users think he cannot dance to save his life.
“Mamela! Yesterday I started dancing and everyone here in Spain was so impressed. I feel like I’ve been dancing for the wrong country because I am Kamo Mphela here. Someone even asked me for dance lessons.”
