Africa-Press – South-Africa. ActionSA has lodged a complaint with the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) against Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie, accusing him of racism.
Screenshots of McKenzie’s tweets from over ten years ago have been circulating on social media, revealing the use of what has been described as racial slurs.
Despite the posts dating back several years, the Patriotic Alliance (PA) has defended McKenzie, denying that he has a racist history.
ActionSA spokesperson Matthew George expressed concern over McKenzie’s past remarks.
“ActionSA has reported Minister Gayton McKenzie to the South African Human Rights Commission for racist remarks in which he repeatedly used hateful slurs from the apartheid era, along with other offensive references that served to degrade and dehumanise black South Africans. Racism and the dehumanising of any person, regardless of their race, has no place in South Africa.”
