EFF pickets outside #AdamCatzavelos' home
Updated | By Sibahle Motha
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Ekurhuleni held a picket outside Adam Catzavelos’ residence on Friday morning.
This follows the racist video in which Catzavelos expresses his joy at not seeing a single black person while on an island holiday, and using the k-word to describe black people.
The EFF says the purpose of the visit was to confront him over his comments.
"We paid him a visit at his place in Edenvale to confront him on the utterances he has made which are derogatory especially to our people," says Ekurhuleni regional secretary Sipho Watkins.
Catzavelos was not at home but the EFF has vowed to return at a later stage.
"We shall pay him a visit. As the EFF we will not tolerate any form of discrimination that manifests itself in whatever form. As long as he still in our region we are going to confront him, he needs to tell us why he made such utterances.
"He must know that he does not belong in Ekurhuleni. People of Ekurhuleni are peaceful and the people of South Africa in general. So, we don't need people like him, so he should rather stay in Greece where there are no people of colour," adds Watkins.
Catzavelos issued an apology on Friday morning but this has been rejected by the EFF.
