EFF goes after man for racist tweet

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) this week opened a case against a businessperson for his racist comments made while he was on an overseas visit. The EFF, led by Mandisa Mashego alongside Pastor Paseka Mboro, were at the Bramley police station to open a criminal docket against Adam Catzavelos, who was exposed in a video expressing his joy at there being “no k ***** s in sight” at an overseas destination he was visiting this week.

In the video that was leaked on social media, Catzavelos can be seen showing scenes of what is presumably a Greek beach, before saying: “I’m going to give you a weather forecast. Blue skies, beautiful day, amazing sea and not one k **** r in sight. You cannot beat this.”

Political figures and regular Twitter users first exposed his identity, and then demanded that Catzavelos account for his comments.

Catzavelos’ family owns the St George’s Fine Foods company, and angry Twitter users immediatlely started calling on businesses to cease using their products.

Yesterday, Catzavelos issued an apology in the form of a statement, expressing regret for his utterances.
