SHOCKING!!! This gentleman is an outstanding President of our country and is doing an excellent job at it. She can go to USA!! ProudlySouthAfrican

Anyone can call me 'monkey, ape, racist, kaffer, pig.' If I am, joke's on me, if I'm not, joke's on you. It's the same as respect, it's earned. Opinions are like hemmorrhoids. Stand behind the door and then look for someone else there. contemplate

Good

And I’m sure she’s a remnant of the conservatives that won’t accept that a Black president is doing so well under the trying circumstances. I hate her even before i know her. I wish corona virus can kill her

Arrest the bloody stupid woman and throw the prison cell keys into the biggest river

Show us this video who is she ?

Eusebius This woman is a disgrace, kick her out of the country, anywhere that will have her

She must learn a lesson

Clearly her interior needs to be revamped the current design lacks self respect

Are there people out there who still have the energy to be racist at a time like this, I think there is something loose in that persons brains that needs to be tightened.

She deserves to be arrested

Eusebius Makabanjwe kwaye Ag other

Of course Trump is a first world President and I think Cyril puts him to shame.

Makes me mad whats wrong with her. This is a great president . Send her to rehab

We don't want her apology, can she please not come tomorrow crying sorry

She must not be released because we don't even need her apology

Freedom of Speech

Nice

ImcocoMash Hayi mani! Where’s Steve Hofmeyer, didn’t he advocate all the caucasians from South Africans held here against their will to be adopted by the Americans and Australians... I wasn’t aware we still had caucasians who weren’t playing nice with the brown kids🤣🤣

He has earned respect from people across the world.

We want to see her behind bars stupid old white🤮

Ooo. Another traitor in our midst.

White people will NEVER STOP calling blacks (us) baboons,they WILL NEVER !

Margaret chenery is her name... eazy

ChadChaddalz94

I hope that justice⚖will be served.

Call someone a lion, that's great Call someone an ape, jail time Monkey politics

What is so wrong with being an ape? Double standards, animal farm

It had to be a white person, uwhooo.

Tendaijoe Margaret must go back to Europe, preferably Italy or Spain.

Without respect the nation will fall

Can you please make an extreme example of her Mr President we are tired of be disrespected in our own country

In South Africa racism should be punishable by DEATH. Given our history.

Shocking that people can be so nasty

Heheheh... I am not laughing,

Can anyone please help me withh 100 to buy maize meal, tean fish n fish oil pls pls🙏🙏🙏💔

Ag shame, boohoo

But i gave seen people calling President useless, swearing at him. Or is it bcoz she is white 😏all this people should be reported

Stupid women!! His the finest and I can proudly Say Mr Nelson Madiba Mandela influence has surely rubbed off on Our FINEST MR PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA CyrilRamaphosa News24

Her life will never be the same

Here she is

🙄cry me a river

ImcocoMash Thank you.

Ramaphosa is rubbish president. He is controlled by his donors. What fuckery do we call that?

Racists hate to see it that Mr President showed first world class leadership meanwhile first world Presidents showed 3rd world class leadership

My apologies Sir, For this woman's behaviour. Stay strong, God bless you. Mr. CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA

Throw her in jail.We don't tolerate such stupidity and toxicity in this country.

I hope justice will do the thing sies man she is ungrateful he is a very good President for our nation sies man

Our President is doing his absolute best for our country and people. What a difficult time for our country and the world. God bless our leaders and show them the way to handle this now and in future🙏❤️

Lock her up as quickly as possible... And for the record, as endorsed by WHO, Pres Ramaphosa showed first class leadership in his response to covid-19 compared to other leaders in the first world

How is this still a thing, the world is in unprecedented danger and people are still out here acting like this, it does not matter what colour you are,what gender you are or what religionor sexual orientation you are get over it and focus on what the actual problems are

Only answer is to make her face the full force of the law, no sympathy at all. We are trying to build a country where we work as one and we therefore have no need for people like this here

Disgusting! She should be labeled a racist, fined and jailed

Very good... This calling names is nonsense!

She mustn't worry...she will apologize and then set free...another white person will do the same thing tomorrow and apologize. Its a cycle that will never end.

south africans must stop worship whites,EVEN THEIR WHITE GOD

I will never understand racist white people who choose to live in Africa.... This is the black factory 😂 if you have a problem with black people, kindly go back to your ancestors Homeland in Europe, the white factory.

Can the same be done against this man😑😑😑

sipstea

Where is the screenshot

Agreed at times we get angry at government errors and the President hesitancy to act against his corrupt ministers...But to fling barbaric slurs at the President is highly unacceptable...not just the President but to any person of color. As a nation we need to keep the respect

Many like her feel the same way about us African people

I'm sure you guys know her name

Bambani lonja leyo.... Niyikhuphe after lockdown

Great!! Let her sit!!

Good. any person publishing such mind vomit must be accountable. Then we start to ensure that people, of any race, think before they share racism, bigotry. We must change thinking. The President is the elected leader but no one should be victim of this talk. Respect for all

Very disappointed to read this. No words actually.

zinhlekwit R350 🔄

Nope unacceptable you in the way of progress....hope you get punished and hopefully you ll open the eyes of your heart to that toxicity

I might not agree with most of the things that The President says or does, but bottom line is, he is a human being. So, lock that person up !!!

Arrest this filth

Lock her up

ImcocoMash Good!!!!

This is ridiculous, politicians need to develop a thick skin. You going to be suing civilians now CyrilRamaphosa

She thinks blacks are Apes this is a price you pay for forgiveness to someone who is not sorry, priveledge racists.

ImcocoMash Trump called SA a 💩💩hole though

It’s silly that someone is being threatened by the law for speaking ill of anyone even the president. This is a free country. That being said I adore our president he truly is the leader we’ve been needing for a very long time! Tip my hat to you sir! He’s the MAN!

They are about to use all words that mean e.g on her...

Disrespectful though

Even before I opened this, I knew she had to be white! Sies

Disgusting

I'm not a fan of the Pres ! BUT he is doing wat has to be done to keep his people safe ! Only people who care more about money than LIFE will talk like that !

She must go straight to JAIL. We have stress on COVID19 and shes making things worse. Will this name calling END

We must also find those that liked the post 🤷🏿‍♂️

Surely this individual will face the law. Can we leave race out please before people who have nothing to do with what she said get offended. Choose your words carefully people .

Then we wonder why Afrikaans kids today still have racist behaviours and slurs. The parents still object their children with that mentality. It will never end

This cases waste time, rather send Recce to sort that lady out. They're very capable 🤞

Throw her in jail and throw away the key. It was clearly visible yesterday, the President is under pressure to save lives. You have my support and reapect Mr. President

She must be sent to jail.

People must respect leadership

Until when, will a black person be a subject of racial discrimination? The world over is treating us worse than a venomous animal. Koze kubenini indlu emnyama!!!

Thank you to that man, real patriots must defend our senior citizens

People like this should be made an example of despite me thinking that her unfortunate stupidity can be the only justification for her comment... but being stupid is still no excuse...

That man from the Bluff is uber arsehole. I hope the entire community of Bluff ostracise him

Yep. Sounds about yt

social media becareful or stop your fingers

I'm here to remind South Africans that all kinds of names and insults were hurled at former Pres. Zuma during his tenure. Not at any single point has anyone being been charged. Why is this one special?

What a disgrace to her race and age group. The President is really trying hard to steer the ship in this unprecedented storm but some woul rather resort to shameless self worthiness

The person who speaks like that about the President who is doing his best to get us al through this does not belong here. In this time I hope she will be brought to book.

Some white people will never learn

If only everyone understood the vernacular, then we’ll be seeing these cases everyday

I totally fail to comprehend how someone can even come up with that line of thinking.Good for the guy reporting her. Get rid of the rotten apples.

She must dealt with decisively and let’s make a good example to all racist and lock her up for long time

Well here's another referring to the president as baboon PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa GenBheki_Cele MbalulaFikile

Why open a case for stupidity?

Mhambis I smell no crimen injuria here, kante what happened to figures of speech? Remember 🐕 of white monopoly? Or maybe there's context that's missing or ignored.

king_tshawe White people tend to think that freedom of speech is to abuse black people.

Make example of her

What happened to good old sticks and stones?

Dilang ka yena fast..

People feel it's ok to use social media to expose their racism and disrespect people to that level- throw her in jail. Don't give her a fine.

MargaretMustFall

An excellent time for Karen to actually pack up and go to the 1st world country...that would be a delight

So what about Malema who call Pravin jamnandas, isn't that crimin injuria

Divide and conquer is the plan. Hate your fellow human is how the criminals stay in power.

Lock her up. The majority of us wants a peaceful nation without discrimination. We don’t need her type. What a disgrace. CR is a solid rock in this time.

from what I understand white businesses cannot apply for relief. That’s BEE only? How can a comment be more racist then actual racist laws

That bastard must rot in jail or get a hefty fine

Another old frustrated racist from Durbs?

This is the vile woman

This is the woman

Excellent response

Yhor

She must escorted to the country where there's no 'Ape' which is jail and serve life sentence we do not need such toxic personnel in our community.

Lets not run and pull race cards quickly

We know that Ramaphosa is funded and protected by WMC. We use to call Zuma with all sorts of insults we even drew his private parts on national news paper no one was arrested. Media makes Ramaphosa to look good actually he's worst than his predecessor...

But the Everything For Free Muppets can refer to a person as 'a Dog of white man's capital' Case of the pot calling the kettle black if you ask me 😉🙄

Lock her up! 😡

Can someone bless me with data, I have less than 13mb and I have to submit two assignments online today. Kakopa tog

The level of racism and lack of respect never changed!

Stupid people cause hatred and division way beyond their worth. We do not need this negativity right now...stop it.

It must be a white woman?

The person who did this must be exposed, so that they're known by society just like other racists who have been exposed in the past.

Lol!!

Criminal case opened against Durban woman who called President Cyril Ramaphosa an 'ape'A case of crimen injuria has been opened against a woman for allegedly referring to President Cyril Ramaphosa as an 'ape trying to act like a first world president' in a Facebook post. Hope CyrilRamaphosa will not drop the case or accept and accept a 'halo' apology as this is a war that has to be waged if RACISM is to be obliterated. All South Africans must aspire for an Anti-Racist country horizontally & vertically as well as multi-dimensionally. She is just a pathetic human being...one call omnye umntu that.. president or not..no one deserves such nonsense... Dictatorship at it's worst, during Zuma's tenor we were told it's freedom of speech to insult the president even inside parliament.
