  • The ANC Are Laying Charges Against #PennySparrow

    Things are getting pretty out of hand with ol’ Penny over her racist comments – and the worst thing about it all is that she is digging herself into a deeper hole. Just listen to her speak.

    While the DA were quick to get on the bandwagon and lay charges against Penny, the ANC has now committed to using all of its resources to lay charges of crimen injuria against all racist South Africans at the Hillbrow Police Station as well as lay formal complaints with the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC).

    Social media, hey, people think they’re safe.

    The slurs and insensitive comments disseminated by the three online included Sparrow’s description of black South Africans “monkeys”, Van Vuuren reference to them as “the scum of the nation”, and Hart saying the victims of Apartheid now had a sense of entitlement.

    The ANC is apparently going to have none of this – but imagine all the names that would be added to that list if they actually did a little research. I sure have a few.

    The ANC, working together with the majority of the people of South Africa, has committed itself to advancing and realising the aspirations of the majority of our nation’s people to live in a non-racist, non-sexist South Africa.

    To this end, the ANC will utilise all resources at its disposal, including the courts, to ensure that the already fragile social fabric in South Africa is not torn apart by the reckless and irresponsible comments of a few individuals.

    The circulation of such bigoted comments have the potential for causing irreparable harm to the dignity and reputations of individuals and social groups.

    You know, laying charges might be all well and good, but it isn’t going to help in sorting out the inherent racial divide that is so obvious in our country. The government needs to focus on integration, equal opportunity and social justice before they just go handing out red cards to every Tom, Dick and Harry.
