EFF STATEMENT ON THE RADIO DJ WHO CALLED CIC MALEMA A MONKEY

Tuesday, 2 October, 2018

The EFF welcomes the dismissal of Sasha Martinengo from Hot 91.9 FM following his racist remarks about CIC Julius Malema. Unlike many who accept apologies of the racists, this station refused to stop there and took it a step further by firing a racist.

It is obvious that acted decisively because they knew they would face the full might of the EFF like did.

The EFF is however not satisfied with firing of this DJ. We will, through our branches, be opening a criminal case against him because racists belong in jail.

Our courts must deal harshly with those who continue to undermine the humanity and dignity of black people. Until racism, particularly openly expressed is considered a criminal offense it will not stop. White people need to know that they each time they use the k word or call black people monkeys, they can end up in jail.
