It may be time for SA to get a k-word register for habitual racists, a high court judge says | BISouthAfrica
It may be time for the South African government to set up a register of habitual racists, high court judge Richard Brooks said in a judgment delivered this week.
"In light of the seriousness of the racial attitudes harboured by some in our society, the time may have come for the government to consider establishing a 'register' of offenders of this type of conduct," said judge Richard Brooks in a judgment in a k-word matter heard in the high court in Grahamstown, delivered this week.
Brooks was ruling on the appeal against a crimen injuria conviction for 63-year-old financial planner Dianne Horwitz, from Port Elizabeth.
