SAfrican school video shows 'auction' of Black students

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — A school in Cape Town is investigating allegations of racist bullying after a video emerged that appears to show students pretending to auction off their Black classmates, the provincial education department said on Friday.

The video shared on WhatsApp and leaked to the media shows at least two male Black students behind a gate in a fenced-off area as several mixed-race 'colored' students appear to be shouting bids for them.
