An SAHRC order
that Capetonian Matthew Theunissen must carry out sport community service
following his racist rants should serve as a lesson for others, Sports Minister
Fikile Mbalula said today.
Mbalula said in a
statement that the restorative measures the commission
has recommended should serve as a teaching moment to racist people who believe
some sporting codes are an exclusive right of one race against the other.
Last week, the SA Human Rights
Commission announced that a settlement agreement had been reached with
Theunissen – who had vented on Facebook about transformation in
sport – whereby he will do community service for sports development
in a disadvantaged part of Cape Town.
