[CartoonFan]

The Chinese Association (TCA) on Thursday emerged victorious in the Equality Court in Johannesburg after a five-year legal battle about posts on social media.

Some of the comments were that Chinese people should be "wipe[d] out" and that "we should start killing their children", News24 previously reported.

TimesLive reported that most of the respondents were ordered to pay R50 000.

Van der Linde de Klerk, who opposed the application, was ordered to pay R150 000.
