BELINDA MAGOR ARRESTED

Magor topped social media trend lists for her voice note in which she called for black people to be killed and banned instead of Pitbulls. Her rant comes as a number of South Africans are calling for the vicious dogs to be banned following a spate of mauling incidents that have claimed innocent lives of children.

In a voice note sent on WhatsApp, Magor is heard saying:

“Estelle, I agree with you wholeheartedly. What I say is: ban the black man. They rape, they steal, they kill, worse than any Pitbull could, and they get away with it. Ban those who are making the laws, ban Ekurhuleni, ban the black man. Get all the black women and cut out their uteruses and their ovaries [so] that they can’t procreate, because they will all turn out the same because they are all the same.

“I’m very passionate about this. Ban them, kill them, shoot them, get rid of them because they are the problem — not Pitbulls, not animals. Animals are beautiful, and they deserve a warm bed, food, love, attention and everything else. God created those animals. Who created the black man? Do you think God? I don’t think so.”

In an interview with Sowetan the elderly woman who is reportedly from Benoni blamed diabetes for her rant.

“When your sugar is out of whack, which happens quite often, you don’t think clearly, you can’t focus,” she said.

The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) condemned Magor and said it will investigate the matter. The Azanian People’s Organisation (AZAPO) has also opened a case against the woman.

SOCIAL MEDIA REACTIONS

A number of South Africans were up in arms over her utterances, especially after she blamed diabetes for her rant.

“The first mistake Belinda Magor made was sharing her sordid thoughts with people in that group assuming that all of them were racist. It’s obviously a white person that exposed her. Doubt she saw that coming,”@kat_bezz tweeted.

“Words of appreciation to all involved in the arrest of the racist Belinda Magor. We come from a troubled past filled with institutionalised racism and cannot accept the resurfacing of this nonsense in our society,”@NatalThokozane also tweeted.
