A South African court on Friday ordered a woman to pay
150,000 rand ($9,941) to charity after she was found guilty of hate speech for
referring to blacks as "monkeys", News24 reported.
The ruling African National Congress (ANC) brought charges
against former estate agent Penny Sparrow after she caused public outrage by
saying on her Facebook page that blacks made beaches dirty like "wild
monkeys".
"Her words convey the message both explicitly and
implicitly to the reader that black people are not worthy of being described as
human beings," Umzinto Equality Court Magistrate Irfaan Khalil was quoted
as saying on News24.
Khalil ordered Sparrow to pay the fine within 60 days.
Sparrow's daughter, who represented her in court, said her mother was too sick
to attend and fears for her life.
