The sentence follows Letsoalo’s pleading guilty last Friday to a charge of crimen injuria that was lodged by the SA Jewish Board of Deputies .
The case has its genesis on June 21 2018, when the board received a message from Letsoalo reading: “@SAJBD The #Holocaust will be like a picnic when we are done with all you Zionist bastards. F*** all of you.” The text was accompanied by an image of Holocaust victims. Later that morning, Letsoalo sent a second message to the SAJBD, reading: “@SAJBD must get decimated. We can’t have Scandanavian rats, fake Jews, Zionist bastards running our economy.”
In subsequent Twitter exchanges with Jewish community members who challenged him, Letsoalo posted further threatening and abusive messages. The board responded by laying a charge of crimen injuria against Letsoalo.
It wasn't supposed to be Blacks getting sentenced for hate speech. 😂 According to the despicable SAHRC they can't even be racist.
We dont have courts, Its indeed true,these courts are RACIST.
Good news
The racists that we tweet alongside are still not convicted of anything. People walk around with the Apartheid flag unhindered. We are still having a long journey ahead of us
zilevandamme Cringe-inducing hatred. 😖😖😖
It's just another form of racism.
He's just sentenced for being poor black. I've seen worse tweets
Bull, our courts clearly view antisemitism as worse than racism in a country that has a painful and violent history of racism.
Jewish board of deputies who is this? Something fishy going on hear I smell a rat
Say something about the damn Jews and their primary industry will get you.
