Former Generations actor Siya Radabe shares a different view of the Penny Sparrow debacle

Former Generations actor Siya Radabe who now stars in Saints and Sinners took to Instagram to share his opinion of the call for estate agent Penny Sparrow to lose her job.

Sparrow caused an uproar with a Facebook post which reinforced black stereotypes and was deemed racist.

“From now I. Shall address the blacks of South Africa as monkeys as I see the cute little wild monkeys do the same pick drop and litter‚” Sparrow had said.

Sparrow has received flak for her statement from people across South Africa including calls for her to be fired from her job.

In the sea of hate Siya Radabe offers a different perspective in his post titled, " Forgive me for feeling for her, I am just afraid that maybe in the future what a black man says about whites may cost him his job… we have many mouths to feed."
