Eben Etzebeth taking SAHRC to court – report

Springbok Eben Etzebeth is taking the South African Human Rights Commission to court, Netwerk24 has reported.

SAHRC chairperson Bongani Majola confirmed to the publication that Etzebeth’s legal team had on Monday served them with papers, which he said he was in the process of perusing.

Concerns were raised regarding the SAHRC’s Buang Jones’ comments at a public meeting in Langebaan recently, where he vowed that Etzebeth would be used to “set an example”, following racism and assault allegations made against the Springbok.

The SAHRC was representing the so-called Langebaan Four in the Equality Court case against Etzebeth, who they alleged used a racial slur against them during an incident at a pub.

The four are looking for compensation of more than R1m and want Etzebeth to apologise, to undergo anger management and racial sensitivity training, and to do community service.
