The commission’s Gushwell Brooks spoke to Thabiso Tema on the POWER Drive on Tuesday on the matter.

“There has been an understanding that Mr Zuma agrees and accepts that he has committed an act of hate speech.”
On Tuesday the Durban Equality Court instructed Zuma to apologise for his utterances he made about Minister of Public Enterprise Pravin Gordhan and Tourism Minister Derek Hanekom in July 2017.

Zuma wrote a letter where he accused Gordhan of being a “sell out” and that he “sold the country to Rupert.”
In the open letter he went onto call Hannekom an askari, “no better than a vile dog”, and Gordhan a racist who viewed black people as nothing more than “k*****s”.
He also went on a rant that was captured on video where he repeated the sentiments.

The court has given Zuma seven days to apologise to members of the public for his hate speech he directed at the two ministers.
The SAHRC applied to the Durban Equality Court last year 2017 seeking to find Zuma guilty of hate speech and for him to be fined R100,000 for the open letter.
