Tahir reported the incident to the stadium security, and was subsequently accompanied by two security personnel to identify and to have the man ejected from the stadium.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Tahir made no physical contact with the offender or any of the children in the vicinity. The incident is under investigation with the CSA and stadium security teams.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;In accordance with the ICC Anti-racism code, spectators who engage in racist conduct are to be ejected from the stadium and can face further sanctions and criminal prosecution,&quot; CSA added.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe fan, according to a Cricbuzz report, was eventually thrown out of the stadium premises after Tahir reported the incident to the security officials.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAccording to Tahir, the fan was an Indian.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMohammed Moosajee, the South Africa team manager, said Tahir was abused by the individual throughout the match and there were some &quot;hostile verbal exchanges&quot;.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;We want to get an idea from the stadium security perspective, their input into what happened. Once we have an understanding of that, then we&#39;ll be able to have a better idea of things,&quot; Moosajee was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Image - Google Search<\/p>\r\n",
