7de Laan actress attacked on social media
Well known singer and activist, Sunette, became involved in a racial spat with 7de Laan actress, Vinette Ebrahim, who plays Charmaine in the popular TV series.
In a recent Facebook post, Sunette said: "While the whole world is Celebrating the start of a brand new year I would like you to spare a thought for the families of the 217 White South Africans who were butchered by Black Savages in 2014.
"213 White South Africans were murdered by Black attackers in 2013 and, 3 hours into 2015 they claimed another victim."
Vinette responded by saying: "Well, how does it feel Sunette Bridges to be wearing the shoe that my people wore for so long? How does it feel to be the downtrodden minority? How does it feel to be in fear for your life on a daily basis? How does it feel to be a second class citizen in the land of your birth?"
"Racists. You and Steve Hofmeyr"
"The only difference here is that you will never see freedom as you knew it again. You have made it impossible for yourself and those like you. Racists. Face the fact, “baasskap” has disappeared never to be re-emerge again. You are an opportunist and a fearmonger and you exploit the undereducated Afrikaner."
"You and Steve Hofmeyr. Your little boeremag enclave is exactly that…little. But I will be watching you with keen interest because I believe that you are a parasite with an agenda,"
Following this reply, fans of Sunette, launched an all out assault over social media, attacking Ebrahim.
Standing her ground, Vinette Ebrahim told Die Beeld newspaper: "20 000 people - white, black, brown, Indian - were murdered in 2014. We are all living in fear."
