Velaphi Khumalo a sports promotion officer with the South African Government has been suspended following his facebook post where he called for black South Africans to do to white people what “Hitler did to the Jews” and cleanse the country of white people.
In the Facebook post, Khumalo said: “We must act as Hitler did to the Jews. I don’t believe any more that there is a large number of not so racist white people. I’m starting to be skeptical even of those within our Movement the ANC.

At first, Khumalo was unapologetic about his post, but on Thursday, in an e-mail, he begged for forgiveness, adding that he hoped the people of South Africa would find it in their hearts to forgive him. He admitted that his comments were offensive and “uncomfortable”.
He was later served with an official suspension letter on Friday morning, as his comment was seen as a first hand promotion of racism and oppression of another race.
