The KwaZulu-Natal woman who referred to President Cyril Ramaphosa as an 'ape trying to act like a first world president' has apologised and said the incident was blown out of proportion.
A screenshot of a comment made by a KwaZulu-Natal woman on FacebookThis comes after a Bluff father took it upon himself to formally open a case at the Brighton Beach police station.
The man, who preferred to remain anonymous, said a screenshot of her comment had been forwarded to him on WhatsApp, prompting his disgust. “I was completely shocked. I hardly slept because when I am angry and running through emotions I lose sleep.” “For her to say this was blown out of proportion tells me she doesn't understand the significance of her actions. She knows she did something terribly wrong because she deactivated her Facebook account not long after.”
She knows she did something terribly wrong because she deactivated her Facebook account not long after“I'm waiting for her to go to a court of law to defend her case because I believe the onus is on her.”“I live in an integrated community. My son goes to an integrated school and we all go to an integrated church, but it is things such as this incident that make me lose trust in people,” he said.Presidential spokesperson Khusela Diko did not respond to queries for comment.
