MOST READ | Manager in hot water for using the k-word
It’s alleged the man in charge of VaalHarts Water Use Association, just outside Kimberley, uses the racial slur towards his subordinates on several occasions.
“The k-word is not fine for us. He likes to harass us, abuse, you see and this word of monkeys, we are having monkeys in this place neh. He’d say to us there’s your brothers and your sisters. The other word is we are baboons.” CEO of the Vaalharts Water Association, Niel van Eeden, says they are aware of the grievance and it’s now under investigation.
Spokesperson for the South African Human Rights Commission, Gushwell Brooks, says there are consequences for anyone using the k-word.
