Penny Sparrow has
broken her silence after being fined R150,000 by the Equality Court for
comparing black people to monkeys.
Sparrow has told reporters that she is not a racist,
her punishment is too harsh and the stress of her public shaming has taken its
toll on her health.
She sparked an internet storm with her post on Facebook earlier this year about dirty Durban beaches which prompted the African National
Congress to pursue a
hate speech complaint against her.
Sparrow was sentenced in abstention last week.
