'Apartheid': Black customers are denied entry to white-owned resorts in Uganda, MP claims

A Ugandan MP has claimed that some holiday resorts owned by whites in the country don't allow blacks entry.

Burahya MP Margaret Muhanga says 'beware of raising apartheid in Uganda' and has urged country's security to 'take a keen interest'.

"Three ‘white’ owned resorts in my constituency don’t allow ‘blacks’ in esp during peak season," Muhanga wrote on Twitter.

The legislator declined to name the three resorts where she draws her allegations from.

'Blacks scare white tourists'

Muhanga said on Twitter that black vacationers are denied entry because they scare whites.

She wrote: "Reason: blacks stare at whites and it scares them."

The MP worries that "there could be something cooking in there..."
