South African performing artist Rajesh Gopie landed himself in boiling water after a racial post calling soccer supporters who caused a mayhem at the Moses Mabhida stadium in KwaZulu-Natal “mandrills”.
Gopie composed on his Facebook account: “Yah, and the Baboons like soccer an excessive amount of so they need to play with human heads.”
Mobs of Kaizer Chiefs fans unleashed their anger after a soccer match where they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Free State Stars.
Many people were not impressed by the actions of the Chiefs fans, including Gopie. The post has caused outrage on social media, with many calling for Gopie to face the same justice as convicted racists, Penny Sparrow and Vicki Momberg.
Gopie has since deleted the post and apologized following a social media backlash that greeted his racist rant.
