[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 963884, member: 40658"] Okay, so apparently the word that was used was "hotnot". Now this is a derogatory term for the Khoisan people. Now there is a movement representing this protected group of the population who wants to use this case to have this term be deemed hate speech in the same light as the "K"-word. So basically they want to use a high profile person as the scapegoat, to drive an agenda. They are now also blaming the NPA for dragging its feet, even though the NPA referred the case back to police for further investigation, so this movement is already barking up the wrong tree, by blaming the NPA when they don't have much to work with at the moment. They are also claiming that Etzebeth assaulted them with his firearm, and that Etzebeth's firearm has been sent for DNA testing. Honestly, IMO, this seems highly unlikely that Etzebeth's firearm was involved in the incident. There's already so many gaps starting to show in this case, So I'm very interested to see what's going to happen. I am very glad that the portfolio comittee on Sport, Arts & Culture, have made a statement saying that this matter should have been better handled and that Etzebeth shouldn't be judged by trial by media. I'm applauding them for saying this, as it's clear that some of these articles are just blowing smoke, stating the same info they published a week before. [/QUOTE]
