ANCYL Sets Penny Sparrow some Criminal Charges with DA; ANCYL and ANC in an Outrage

By

Democratic Alliance has laid criminal charges against the real estate agent Penny Sparrow. African National Congress Youth League and African National Congress are intending to do the same.

According to Times Live, the Youth Leagues's KwaZulu-Natal branch released a statement on Monday saying that racism is a crime and it is punishable by law. They will approach the South African Police Service on the South Coast with the intention to lay criminal charges against this racist. On the same note, the Democratic Alliance has already publicized its intent to place criminal charges against Sparrow‚ who said on her tweet that - "From now I. Shall address the blacks of South Africa as monkeys as I see the cute little wild monkeys do the same pick drop and litter."

Another person has charged Sparrow with Crimen Injuria, the businessman Herman Mashaba, whose launch of the 'Black Like Me' range of cosmetic products gained him legendary status, stated ENCA. The CEO of Leswikeng Minerals & Energy Limited, who is also in a mayoral candidacy for Democratic Alliances, Mashaba, has instructed his legal team to urgently pursue the case with the Human Rights Commission. The African National Congress (ANC) joined the issue and said they denounce in the toughest terms the unjustified comments posted on social media by famous Economist, Mr Chris Hart and Miss Penny Sparrow an estate agent with one of the leading estate agent companies in South Africa.

The post made by Penny Sparrow about black people going on beaches and calling them 'monkeys' caused an outrage. Sparrow said she was just merely 'stating the facts' when she posted those, said News24. The Embattled KwaZulu-Natal realtor talked to News24 and said she wasn't expecting her Facebook post to grow this big. She said she made a mistake with comparing them to monkeys as she see the animals to be cute and naughty like the black people on the beach as she loves animals.

The estate agent also said that she has black workmates and she is kid to them. She wasn't being nasty, rude or horrible, but she sees them making a mess and she thinks that's just how they are. She wasn't really apologetic with everything she did, she said that was just how she felt.
