Chris Hart breaks his silence on controversial tweet
Cape Town - Chris Hart has responded in 10 tweets following his resignation from Standard Bank amid a disciplinary hearing against him over a tweet deemed to be racist.
Standard Bank said in an emailed response to Fin24 that Hart resigned as an Investment Strategist at Standard Bank Wealth and Investment.
When pressed for further comment, Standard Bank's spokesperson Ross Lindstrom said: "Standard Bank has said everything it has to say on these issue."
Hart was suspended on January 4 after coming under fire after he tweeted: "More than 25 years after apartheid ended, the victims are increasing along with a sense of entitlement and hatred towards minorities."
Standard Bank immediately distanced itself from his tweet, adding that the bank did not endorse the comments made.
