‘He lied’: Christopher Logan to pay R1,25m over fake racist pub claim

Christopher Logan – the man who accused the owners of Hank’s Olde Irish pub in Cape Town of being “racist” – will have to fork out R1,25 million over a defamation ruling.

The young man – allegedly believed to be an “aspiring politician” – and his friend Thabiso Danca made headlines in 2022 over a viral video.
