Security camera footage of the alleged racial attack at a holiday resort in Maselspoort has provided a complete picture of what happened on Christmas Day.
In the footage, you can see a white man stopping the boys at the gate.
When one of the teenagers jumped into the pool, almost all the white people got out.
There have been several reports that the child had pushed a toddler into the pool, however, this version is not supported by any footage.
Initial footage of the incident went viral on social media and has now made international headlines.
