Ramabodu expressed a desire to beat up an Afrikaner and that he “wants the blood of an Afrikaner”.The DA condemned his comments saying it will escalate the matter to the Human Rights Commission.Yabo says, “Council can get very chaotic on its best days, especially when you have heated subjects like the removal of a sitting executive mayor on the agenda of council.
”“I think in heated moments we should be measured and level-headed in how we respond to issues that call for our responses as political leaders. People will have emotional bursts at one point or another regardless of the context. I think to adhere to the spirit of our democracy we should veer away from making remarks that are not unifying.
