The article, “Racism accused hires a private attorney,” The Mercury, Wednesday 18 January 2017, refers.

It is alarming that after almost 23 years of democracy that the ugly head of racism is raised by the likes of Dawie Kriel.

It is encouraging that senior ANC, DA leaders and Ashwin Trikamjee, president of the Hindu Maha Sabha, were present to see that action be taken.

Regardless of the postponement of the case, our constitution guarantees equality before the law and prohibits discrimination.

Justice will prevail.
