You go boy. That's the way to go; doing and saying what the master's grandchildren want you to do and hear to give them a useless upper hand.

The guy who shot a blac*k man in Limpopo will not apologise for mistaking him for a baboon. He defied the court ruling.........

@hulas,
Du Plessis was suing for R100,000 in damages, but the settlement had no monetary component.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The answer is NO. No compensation.

Somehow if you are also an ANC supporter you fall within that category of the animals. If not, take off your socks and see if there is no resemblence to the subject animal's feet.

I say so because i am a supporter of the ANC and am one of those who are against corruption and cadre deployment.

an apology not delivered in good grace is meaningless. Mere posturing. On the other hand this is what one has come to expect from Shivambu.

Agree 100 % Robin H and it is just typical of someone with no integrity to settle a case on that basis and then undo the apology immediately afterwards with a press statement in which he makes it clear that his apology was meaningless. Absolutely no shame or integrity.

@Papage, society at large benefits when a lesson is learnt that people should not insult each other. What kind of upbringing did Shivambu have to call the female reporter, who did not insult him, a w.hite b.itch ? People who have a poor upbringing, no manners, must be exposed and silenced.

What do you expect when you are from a minority rac1st group and confront a person you are well aware that he/she doesn't have room for people like you? Somehow the woman asked for it.

I have never heard of a b1ack person confronting Steeeeeeve Hofmeyer for an interview. You do that, anything b*ad and vu1gar is possible from him and who'll be there to symphathise with you?

@cornelius, it's not all about po*or upbringing since no one is guaranteed that from parents. In general, i can conclude that wh1tes born before 1994 were taught to h@te b1acks, is that good upbringing, do you deserve to be exposed and silenced, for what? I say so because most of wh1te bloggers here have that element/tendency of hat1ng b1acks and their political parties, ANC specifically, something you have to learn to leave with since you are governed legislatively by them.

@ Nwanawamukahlaha.. I am saddened when I read this kind of thin because I sense that you are genuinely misguided and ill informed.

1. You are wrong about St.eve Hofm.eyer - he has many blac.k musician friends, really, the one comment he made was wrongly interpreted as racis.t in a country where people jump on anything. His politic.al activ.ism is simply pro-A.frikaner, not anti -b.lack, there can be nothing wrong in wanting to defend your own kind.

2. He is a wrong example. If you use an example of a true ra.cist, like the deceased E.T, then you are right, it is likely that he would not be polite with a b.lack jour.nalist, simply. Now the big mista.ke you make is in justifying that behaviour.. Don't you see that by your argument, Shi.vambu is just as bad as Terr.eblanche ?

3. You must be talking about w.hites born before 1960. The w.hites born in 1960 were in their mid twenties during the eighties and were the generation that shed apart.heid. These older generation people who introduced, and maintained apa.rtheid ( of course there were many exceptions) suffered from the same ignorance that was prevalent throughout the whole world from time immemorial, ( not only in SA) nl that a da.rk s.kin somehow marked a person as inferior. This idea was brought about partly due to the slower technological development in A.frica, but it was ignorant because it did not take into account common humanity, cultural differences, etc. Remember that the idea of human rights only developed in Europe and the US during early 20th century more or less. Bla.ck people were no better, remember the Mfec.ane w.ars during which the Zul.u nation slau.ghtered and chased other nations off their land ?

3. So yes, you are right, the w>hites who instituted and maintained a.partheid were in that sense ignorant and uneducated, and had a deficient upbringing. That is in the past - the people of this country made a pact in 1994 in order to move forward.There is no justiciation for gratuitously insulting a person simply because of the colour of that person's skin. Don't you get that ?

The notion of economic freedom is just a mirage on a very bleek horizon with the ANC in power. These cretins confuse nationalisation with economic freedom, but, how if any, do the already nationalised mines (yes there are some) and other government owned organisations like Eskom, SAA and Denel benefit people on the street?

There will never be mass economic freedom. You can only have economic freedom as an individual and that takes (among other things) a mixture of an education, a work ethic and a moral ethic to achieve. Now compare the ANC's track record against its failed education delivery, its cadre deployment work ethic and its non-existant moral ethic with the biggest criminal at large heading for a second term in office.

You ANC supporters are like sheep. Stop following and start leading yourself to real economic freedom.

RobinH/Cornelius, the man has apologised & the journalist accepted, case closed why are you now looking for something out of nothing, this was the waste of the court`s time in the first place. Zille apologised for the refugee tweet but still made a follow up statement about the education in EC and how they have build so much schools in the WC, did I hear you question her integrity and upbrigging.

The first comment, Hulas is calling us "ANC chimpanzees", did I hear you calling him into order or question his upbrigging, for some of us who are not brain washed, we can see right through your
w h i t e supremacy agenda.

There is a new struggle ongoing at the moment, the judicial system is now working for certain groups against the other and I hope now the the Juju issue is out of the way the gov will look into it.
