ANC to lay crimen injuria charges against Steve Hofmeyer in Joburg
Johannesburg - The governing African National Congress said it would on Monday lay charges against Afrikaans musician Steve Hofmeyr for his "racist and inhumane" rants on social media directed at ambassador to Denmark Zindzi Mandela and Democratic Alliance MP Phumzile Van Damme.
The party had initially planned to open the case in Cape Town last week but changed its plans and decided to lay the charges in Johannesburg instead. Mandela had days before tweeted to "apartheid apologists" and "land thieves," warning them that black people were going to seize land in South Africa. Meanwhile in Cape Town, Van Damme punched a white man, accusing him of being racist towards her at the V&A Waterfront. After visiting the popular venue frequented by tourists, Van Damme tweeted that she had experienced racism and punched one of the offenders in the face in self-defence. V&A Waterfront said it was investigating the incident which was recorded in a video clip.
