Gayton McKenzie Reported to SAHRC Over Racist Posts, ActionSA Demands Accountability

ActionSA has filed a formal complaint against Minister Gayton McKenzie with the South African Human Rights Commission for using apartheid-era slurs on social media. The commission says the remarks likely breach the Equality Act, and political parties across the spectrum are calling for his removal. ActionSA also lodged a similar complaint against Minister Dean Macpherson. The party urges the President to act and says it will take the case to the Equality Court if needed.
