Barlow's remarks enraged many people on social media, who accused her of being a racist who wanted Mantashe to be killed. Using her social media, on Monday Barlow attempted to explain why she made the remark and this was followed by an apology issued to the Hani family. "We have vastly different experiences of the same country. Yours, and that of your family, would've been moulded by living under the oppressive yoke and mine has been moulded by living under the vengeful malevolence of the ANC," read the letter in parts. Yesterday Limpho told Sowetan that Barlow was disingenuous in her apology. "She never sent a letter of apology. I don't give racists airtime. She is a racist liar. Tell her to go to hell... with her apology on social media, n.xa!" The SA Human Rights Commission said this week it was investigating Barlow. Spokesperson Wisani Baloyi said they were assessing the case and the outcome would determine their next step. Earlier in the week, the SA Communist Party SACP said it would be laying a charge of incitement to commit violence against Barlow. SACP generalsecretary Solly Mapaila said: "Given what happened to Chris Hani, we cannot take the utterances lightly. "Nicole Barlow implicated herself in what happened to Chris Hani, the SACP generalsecretary who was assassinated in cold blood on April 10 1993," Mapaila said
