FEEDBACK

Willemse subsequently became an anchor for SuperSport, and a few weeks ago was thrust into the spotlight once again when he walked out of the studio.

Live on air, he told his fellow studio guests, Nick Mallet and Naas Botha, that he would not be “patronised by two people who had played under apartheid”.

The incident split South Africans largely along racial lines and resulted in SuperSport conducting an investigation into the matter, which it said was independent.

Advocate Vincent Maleke found there was no evidence of racism that could have served as the basis for Willemse’s walkout.

Willemse opted not to testify, although he is clear he considered the conduct of Mallet and Botha to be racist, and that this is what led to him walking off the set.

We do not know what reservations Willemse had about testifying before Maleke. But we would like Willemse to take us into his confidence and explain just what happened.

He needs to do so, and he needs to do it quickly.

Willemse: walkout ‘rooted in racism’

Dianne Norman: If he feels so strongly about it, why didn’t he put his case forward? What rubbish. Kim Sales: Well then he should have made testimony to that effect to the inquiry. Hein Cohen: Ah shame… he makes a statement but doesn’t want to defend it. Enough now! Grow up!

SA Jewish board hits back

Well she apologised and said she copied and pasted. This makes sense as the 3-point plan didn’t sound like something she would write. Linda Ludski Fester: Not their money to waste, the security company, most probably friends and they get a cut. Thieves. Amanda Bengtson: How about they spend that money to upgrade the building? It’s disgusting. Wendell Taylor Adriaanse: What a waste. They could have used that cash on creating jobs.
