Screenshots of a Facebook post, allegedly crafted by Beverley Kruger, have swirled across social media platforms.
Kruger purportedly inferred that people of colour were monkeys who had caused the return of biting lockdown restrictions.
The post said that monkeys were causing trouble for white people.
A racially charged Facebook post – which inferred people of colour were monkeys whose misbehaviour pushed South Africa back into lockdown restrictions – is sweeping across social media platforms.
The comment, allegedly made by Beverley Kruger, reads: Lockdown fokken 3 … kan julle klomp aapies op hou kak maak vir ons wit mense (sic).
Translated, the post reads: Can you bunch of monkeys stop making trouble for us white people.
The Citizen reached out to Kruger, but no responses have been received so far.
It is morbidly clear that the country is so accustomed to dealing with crimen injuria transgressors that we now know the drill – get proof, take screenshots, and try to get a photo of the person’s face.
In October, Matoma Letsoalo was found guilty of crimen injuria, after tweeting anti-Semitic hate speech in 2018.
On 21 June 2018, the SAJBD was tagged in a post from Letsoalo reading: “@SAJBD The Holocaust will be like a picnic when we are done with all you Zionist bastards. Fuck all of you.”
