Episode Details

MK MP Visvin Reddy has launched a scathing complaint against eThekwini Mayor Cyril Xaba after viral footage showed the mayor telling a migrant camp resident, “I’m not speaking to you, I’m speaking to the Africans.” The target, Yeshelen Govender — son of a former ANC official and a South African of Indian descent — is being wrongly dismissed as not “African” by the mayor’s own admission. Reddy argues this racially charged remark violates South Africa’s Constitution, denying the African identity of Indian-descended South Africans who are fully part of the nation’s heritage. He demands a public apology, a R30,000 fine for humanitarian causes, and an investigation into Xaba’s conduct — while Govender plans to meet the mayor to resolve the fallout.
