AfriForum to prosecute man who ‘falsely’ accused colleague of using k-word

[schumi]

AfriForum said on Tuesday it will prosecute a man who “falsely” accused his colleague of using the k-word against him.
According to the civil rights group, Sello Mojela accused André Fourie of racism after a disagreement in 2018.
The two worked for a plastic supply company.
Mojela apparently said during the employer’s grievance procedure that Fourie called him a “baboon”.
AfriForum’s deputy CEO, Ernst Roets, said Mojela changed his version of events when he opened a criminal case with the police.
He then said that Fourie called him the k-word, Roets said.
In response, Fourie opened a crimen injuria case against Mojela after being fired.

Great stuff, people who make false accusations should also spend time in jail just like our convicted racists.

Fantasties, but sad that Afriforum must do the NPA's work.

Can they go after that lesufi kunt as well please

Doesn't firing on hearsay render dismissals unfair?

Fantastic. Kudos to AfriForum. South Africa will descent into a full-blown war if it had not been for this fantastic group. They are needed to keep a rogue government under control. Their international efforts are great for the people of this country.

Yes. Where the national government has failed, civil groups should take over that function and run it officially. Just like it recently happened in Harrismith with Eskom and North West with the water issue. We need to slowly start taking away these functions from a failed government.

Specially for @thechamp so he can claim he does not understand ... anything to help bud.

Say what? War? In South Africa?

There may have been "witnesses" or the company acted unfairly.

“It is unacceptable that people who make false claims of racism are allowed to get away with it, while it has far-reaching and negative consequences for those who are implicated.

Many employers act harshly against false claims.

If there are witnesses they'll will most likely take the stand in the crimen injuria case. Doubt there are witnesses though as Mojela changed his story.

 

[Tokolotshe]

Many employers act harshly against false claims or faced getting trashed and burnt down by the comrades.

FTFY.

 

[surface]

Well done. Afriforum transcending racial boundries to help out Sello Mojela.

 

[ForceFate]

FTFY.

This is not the first case. There has been other cases where people were dismissed for making false accusations.

I agree this looks a lot like they rushed to a decision. But one wonders why Fourie didn't approach CCMA for assistance.

It is strange, the CCMA is usually the first call of action after a dismissal.

 

[EADC]

Afriforum just does **** out of spite.

 

[Zyk1]

Sad for the guy who got dismissed as his reputation is automatically tarnished.
Hopefully he wins a CCMA case against the company for unfair dismissal.
As for the idiot who lied, he needs to be with his racist buddies in prison. Racism and lying about racism are serious offenses.
