I'm not sure how Spur contributed to the communities as claimed? Spur enjoyed unprecedented success in South Africa by tapping into a unique family orientated dining experience, with okay-ish food. This was new to the market at the time and their brand was built on this. Maybe they are referring to this as a community contribution? Or maybe it is the children's club thing and crayons? Or maybe even the thunderous happy-clappy thing that some enjoy in utter public display of birthday self-indulgence? There is no doubt that the incident had an impact on their business, but to blame the "white Afrikaans" part of your clientele is ludicrous. The Spur model is old, outdated and completely devoid of innovation. Beating a dying horse into submission will not save the business. Unless of course you find another issue as an excuse...
