ANC demands apology for racist remarks
The Western Cape ANC condemns the flare-up of racism on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook in the recent past.
People who indulge in such slur and derogatory or hateful references should apologise to all South Africans.
It includes model Jessica Leandra dos Santos who caused an outrage today on Twitter with her reference to an "arrogant and disrespectful k*ffir" she wanted to punch in a supermarket and added it is "these kinds of people that land up raping young girls of our country".
Western Cape ANC leader (deputy minister for international relations and cooperation) Marius Fransman says such racism is unacceptable and must not be tolerated.
"It is not the first time the model let rip like that. In a previous tweet after an incident with a petrol assistant she referred to 'rude African monkeys'. She deleted the offensive messages today after pressure and losing sponsors.
