The SA Human Rights Commission has reached an agreement with Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth that his racism case will proceed in the Equality Court.

Cape Town - The South African Human Rights Commission on Friday announced that it came to a mutual agreement with Springbok rugby player Eben Etzebeth to withdraw the review application in the High Court in Pretoria, over a complaint that the lock racially abused four men in Langebaan, Cape Town.

"The South African Human Rights Commission and Mr. Eben Etzebeth and have agreed to withdraw the Review Application in the Pretoria High Court," the joint statement released by the SAHRC read. "The matter is to proceed to the Equality Court to reach finality in a more expeditious and amicable manner. Both Mr Etzebeth and the Commission are confident that this would be in the best interests of all parties involved."

The SAHRC said it received a complaint in August 2019 alleging that the Springbok rugby player, "physically and racially" abused the complainants in Langebaan during an altercation. Previous reports soon after the alleged incident said Etzebeth met with the SAHRC and "strongly denied" the allegations.

Same-sex couple taking venue to court for refusing to host their wedding'Our focus is now turning to this legal case because its outcome, which might end up in the constitutional court, is an important one not just for the LGBTQIA+ community but for anyone that exists on the margin.' That was the plan all along. All they have to do is be honest about it. If I was the owner, I'd offer them the venue, wait for the right moment, switchoff power completely and have technicians work on it for days. My place I can't be dictated in my own place.
