The SA Human Rights Commission says it has taken racist ranting motorist Vicki Momberg to the Equality Court for hate speech. According to a News24 report, the commission said it has been aware of the issue as early as February after the police officer involved in the incident lodged a complaint. South Africans reacted with outrage after eNCA released a video of a visibly upset and highly charged Momberg after a smash-and-grab incident in Johannesburg. In the clip, she is reportedly seen clutching a phone and shouting, ‘One k***** is bad enough. This happens all the time, all the time. The k****** here in Joburg are terrible. I'm so sick of it.’ The video shows police arriving on the scene and attempting to defuse the situation. SAHRC spokesperson Isaac Mangena said the commis sion was approached by a police officer. ‘We have as part of our investigation consulted with him and considered the evidence presented including the video material which has now gone viral. Having done so, and given our abiding concerns over race based hate speech, we instituted proceedings in the Equality Court during March. We are waiting for the court,’ said Mangena.
