Public outrage is boiling over after an Open Chats Podcast clip surfaced online showing the hosts making derogatory remarks about the Coloured community. In the viral footage, the hosts are heard making several racist claims, insinuating that it is a norm for incest to occur within Coloured families and describing people from the Coloured community as “crazy.”
Leader of the Patriotic Alliance (PA), Gayton McKenzie, in a Live Video on his Facebook Page says that it has become to comfortable and easy to be racist towards Coloured people and not sufferng any consequences, and that in his own party he has fired Coloured people for being racist towards black people.
Taking on Open Chat & SABC
Gayton McKenzie went on to say that it would be wrong of him and his party to not deal with racism towards Coloured people and that something needs to be done to deal with the Open Chat podcasters.
McKenzie also made it clear that the PA plans to challenge SABC2. The fact that the podcast broadcast on SABC2 was not live means the channel’s management has approved of the content and are therefore complicit.
