British Airways on Wednesday\u00a0 issued an apology to music duo, Black Motion, who cast the spotlight on an alleged racist incident that resulted in them being escorted off a flight on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Thabo “Smol” Mabogwane and Bongani “Murdah” Mohosana were singled out to move from their business class seats to accommodate a white passenger who complained that her seat was broken.<\/p>\n

After a heated exchange between the air hostess and the duo, Mabogwane and Mohosana were allegedly told the captain was having them removed to avoid a “911” situation.<\/p>\n

Once concluded we will take whatever action is necessary,” said Shaun Pozyn\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
