DA reports ANC to SAHRC following “terrorist” insult at election debate
8 July 2016
At a Livity Africa debate in Nelson Mandela Bay yesterday afternoon, ANC members and supporters in the audience called me a “terrorist” and from “boko haram” because I am Muslim.
This discrimination has no place in a democratic South Africa, where there should be religious tolerance and understanding of others religious beliefs.
The ANC took no steps to stop their supporters insulting me in this way.
I have therefore decided to report the ANC to the South African Human Rights Commission to investigate this matter and to ensure proper remedial action is taken.
