Here Are Interesting Facts About The Late Convicted Racist"},"content":{"rendered":"
Penny Sparrow was a white South African female who worked as a real-estate agent in the coastal province of KwaZulu-Natal. Before her death, She became infamous in the country after she referred to black South African beach-goers as monkeys on a Facebook post on New Year’s day, 2016.<\/p>\n
Penny Sparrow took to Facebook to share her frustration on the state of the beach in Durban after the holiday. Beach-goers, said to be specifically Blacks in general; both South African blacks and from elsewhere, had horribly littered the coastline, making it a huge discomfort to other people, but most especially the environment.<\/p>\n
Here is what she wrote in her Facebook post:<\/p>\n
\u201cThese monkeys that are allowed to be released on New Year\u2019s eve and New Year\u2019s day on to public beaches, towns etc obviously have no education what so ever so to allow them loose is inviting huge dirt and troubles and discomfort to others. I\u2019m sorry to say that I was amongst the revellers and all I saw were black on black skins what a shame. I do know some wonderful and thoughtful black people. This lot of monkeys just don\u2019t want to even try. But think they can voice opinions and get their way of dear,\u201d read the first part of her post.<\/p>\n
She went on to add that\u00a0\u201cfrom now on, I shall address the blacks of South Africa as monkeys as I see the cute little wild monkeys do the same, pick and drop litter.\u201d<\/p>\n
