Some social media users have accused the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) of targeting black people after the institution revealed that it is investigating controversial media personality and podcaster, Nhlamulo Baloyi, popularly known as Nota.

According to the commission’s Gauteng wing, the Chapter 9 institution has received several complaints about some eyebrow raising comments that Baloyi recently made on The Hustlers Corner podcast with DJ Sbu.

 

On the podcast, Nota said white people are inferior to black people and have non-human genes. The media personality cites research done by eugenicists like Clive Derby Lewis to defend his opinion.

Black podcasters describe white South Africans as inhuman. Literal dogs. Animals.

Your hatred will destroy you long before it will destroy the targets of your hatred. Fight the evil if it is still possible.

Speaking to YNews, Nota defended his remarks – saying there was no hate speech or dehumanisation in what he said.

Nota is no stranger to being hauled to the court or bad publicity.

Earlier this week, actress Itumeleng Bokaba, withdrew rape charges against the podcaster, saying she needs to focus on her career.

He was also recently incarcerated for 60 days for contempt of court.
