Gayton McKenzie, South Africa's Minister of Sport, Arts, and Culture, is facing an investigation for using a hateful racial slur in old social media posts.
These posts, unearthed years later, have reignited discussions about racism's persistent impact in South Africa's complex history.
McKenzie, while denying racism, must apologize, undergo sensitivity training, and delete the offensive content to avoid further consequences.
The incident underscores how deeply rooted racial divisions remain, shaping ongoing societal conversations and tensions in the country.
