‘Adam Habib is no racist,’ says Thuli Madonsela and others
Adam Habib found himself at the centre of a racial storm after he used the n-word, during a virtual session with SOAS students and now the likes of Thuli Madonsela are standing by him
Former public protector, advocate Thuli Madonsela is one of several people who have come to Professor Adam Habib’s defence, in the wake of racism allegations which led to him being asked to step aside from his post as the director of the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London.
Madonsela, United States-based writers Justice Malala, Palesa Morudu and former chairman of the South African Human Rights Commission Barney Pityana, penned an article in which warned against Habib’s removal, saying this would lead to “the silencing of all voices.”
