The BCCSA received a complained of hate speech against a presenter on Ikwekwezi Fm who used the words “umfazinyana wekhuma” which literally translates into “ a young white lady” to refer to a young white lady during his show.
The station argued that the mere usage of the words “umfazinyana wekhuma” did not in any way amount to hate speech.
The complaint was not justified in terms of clauses 4(2) and 12(2) of the BCCSA Broadcasting Code of Conduct.
The Complaint is not upheld.
