Allegations of racism have reportedly stirred the Congress of the People (COPE).

The party’s youth wing leader, Anele Mda, is accused of calling deputy general secretary, Deidre Carter, a "stupid, white token bitch" during an argument after last weekend’s national committee meeting in Johannesburg.

A Facebook group has been started on Cope’s website, calling for Mda to be sacked, both as youth leader and as a member of Parliament.

According to reports, the matter is scheduled to be discussed at the congress working committee meeting, in East London tomorrow.
