ANC KZN to open cases against individuals involved in racist social media rants

1 November 2016

The African National Congress (ANC) in KwaZulu-Natal will lay criminal charges against a number of individuals who allegedly made racist comments on social media platforms during the celebration of Diwali by Hindu communities.

A string of social media posts denigrating the Hindu community's celebration of Diwali hark back to the crude apartheid past. The ANC remain resolute in its campaign to continue building the non-racial country by isolating racists that still hiding in our communities.

ANC Provincial Secretary Cde Super Zuma will lead the party delegation to lay changes of Crimen injuria against several individuals at the Durban Central Police Station and Durban Equality Court.
