Tshwane DA lays complaint against EFF's Ramabodu, accusing him of racism
DA regional spokesperson, Kwena Moloto, said that Obakeng Ramabodu’s comments were tantamount to hate speech and should not be left unpunished.
PRETORIA - The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the metro has opened a case against Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) leader Obakeng Ramabodu, accusing him of racism.
During a recent council meeting, Ramabodu made the following controversial remarks:
“I will be happy to moer a boer, that would be nice, an Afrikaner blood. I want the blood of an Afrikaner, bring the blood of an Afrikaner, I want it.”
DA regional spokesperson, Kwena Moloto, said that Ramabodu’s comments were tantamount to hate speech and should not be left unpunished.
Moloto said that the party had also reported Ramabodu to the South African Human Rights Commission and the provincial corporate governance department.
"We remain committed to being the builders of society, standing strong against those who seek to break it. There is no place for racism in our politics or our society. The DA will continue to fight against hate, violence and division and ensure that Tshwane is a city where all are respected and valued."
Meanwhile, Ramabodu has apologised for his comments, saying they were taken out of context.
