SAHRC offers k-word ranter a R200K settlement─── 15:46 Mon, 05 Aug 2019
The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) has offered k-word ranter Adam Catzavelos a settlement - pay a R200 000 fine and apologise.
"We have submitted a settlement proposal. This was done on August 1. We gave them until today to come to us. They have agreed with most clauses in terms of the agreement. They only have two issues - restraining Catzavelos from making racist utterances in the future and the damages claim.
"We are claiming R200 000 and we can't settle for anything less than R200 000, and we used the precedent in the Angelo Agrizzi case and in another matter in Springs in which the commission assisted a farmworker," said SAHRC Gauteng chairperson, Buang Jones.
The organisation gave Catzavelos time to consider the offer until the Equality Court case, which the SAHRC took to court, proceeds.
The case was postponed to August 29.
