The South African Human Rights Commission has confirmed that it has received complaints against BLF leader, Andile Mngxitama.
Thousands of South Africans took their anger off social media and into lodging complaints to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC).
The SAHRC have released a press statement acknowledging that they have received a number of complaints relating to the utterances that were made by Mr Andile Mngxitama at the Rally on 8 December 2018 in Potchefstroom, North West Province.
Mngxitama came under fire at the weekend for his latest controversial remarks about the killing of white people. During the rally Mngxitama threatened to kill five white people for every black person killed.
He stated that “we will kill their women, we will kill their children, we will kill their dogs, we will kill their cats, we kill anything that comes for us.”
The Commission is in the process of registering the complaints against Mr Mngxitama in accordance with its Complaints Handling Procedures for purposes of conducting an investigation into whether or not human rights have been violated and what steps should be taken to secure appropriate redress.
The SAHRC calls on all within South Africa to assist in fostering a constitutional democracy, based in equality, dignity and freedom by refraining from utterances and actions which threaten social cohesion.
The statement by the SAHRC proves that the actions taken by South Africans in lodging complaints with the correct authorities can create positive change in our country.
