South African blacks have reacted to hate posts from Penny Sparrow, justin van Vuuren, louis Jordaan, cookie pillay, Carron Nadauld Gouws, Edwin La Fontaine, Johann van Wyngaarden, Dalinda Vd Merwe Nel, and Peter J Dreyer.

South Africans have marked the names of 9 people as extremely racist on the internet, these individuals recently made general derogatory statements about black people in South Africa. In just 20 minutes, South Africans reacted and these names are already highlighted by google as names marked as extremely racist individuals.

These individuals have stepped too uncareful and voiced their untamed comments through social media, images attached below:

Chris Hart also engaged people on what some say was a very diabolical debate on twitter that also caught the attention of most black South Africans who also regard the move as pro-racist : check tweets under ‪#‎chrishart‬

These post caused an up-roar on social media, many South African blacks have also forwarded mails to the employer of penny sparrow who is an agent at Jawzit properties. Penny sparrow’s post is the most severe post, referring to black South Africans as monkeys.

Justin offered an apology as well as Penny Sparrow, who decided to offer an apology comment after she realized the consequence of her action, and then posted an even unacceptable apology

” I apologize for my statement I made in reply to a statement i read about the dirty beaches on new years day. I did not mean it to be a personal insult to anyone. It was a statement I made in reply to comment on how littered the beaches and streets were on New Years Day . I’m sorry if you have taken it personally .its not meant to be a personal thing. If you read it properly you would have seen I’m not Racial , in fact I help underprivileged people of all races . please accept my apology I certainly didn’t mean to anger you”

Considering the numbers of emails we received this morning, regarding the submission proposal to google to add cookie pillay to the list of extremely racist individual in South Africa.

Our biggest concern is about the many Black South Africans who have taken matters into their own hands and are seeking personal means to reprimand these individuals. Majority are also concerned about the impact of such type of public display of racism as portrayed by Penny sparrow and the rest.

Despite the statement and apology posted by Penny sparrow she has continued to spread even more racist comments and post.

A close friend of Penny Sparrow believes her actions are motivated by loneliness and a desperation for attention. Considering every other party involved in this hate speech saga, already apologized and deleted all statements. Penny is not apologetic and still continues to make more hate comments.

Is it possible that this hate comments are some of the real burning issues ? Just as we were planning to round our article, we received another racist comment snapshot, posted by Carron Nadauld Gouws.

The Human Rights Movement for Black Africans have made the story published earlier available to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) and would publish the update stories with comments and mails from the public. This is to ensure that the individuals concerned are handled by the commission that knows how to handle such matters.

These has raised the question that was asked by many state officials in 2013 about the state of the nation in regards to the way racial issues are addressed in our country. Reconciliation is under a lot of scrutiny has it has not addressed the issues at stake.

The hate speech issues have burned to a level that has exposed quite a number of people who have been nurturing hatred for fellow citizens, in this case black South Africans. The last set of pictures we just received are sad and we hope, the Human rights commission a speedy action to resolve all these issue. The names that have been added to extremely racist individuals living in SA are : Edwin La Fontaine, Johann van Wyngaarden, Dalinda Vd Merwe Nel, Peter J Dreyer.
