Welkom mayor suspended for ‘boesman’ slur against coloured people

In the video, Speelman uses the word ‘boesman’ to describe people who violate lockdown rules and go out when they shouldn’t.“I want to apologise for a statement I made yesterday,” said Speelman in the video.

However, the Free State ANC have expressed ongoing unhappiness with the mayor and explained why he’s now been suspended. The officials decided to temporarily suspend Speelman as both a member of the ANC and a public representative in line with the ANC’s constitution, as Speelman had violated the provision that prohibits and classifies as misconduct “all forms of racist utterances”.

He should be forced to resign, and a case should be made with the HRC. We have to be fair and as a leader hold the Honorable Mayor to a higher standard

Well done

Why isn't he fired

Tshotsho, abafundi.
