Penny Sparrow case postponed to September
Updated | By ECR Newswatch
The case against retired Scottburgh estate agent Penny Sparrow has been postponed to next month.

Sparrow is accused of crimen injuria for referring to black beach-goers as "monkeys" in a Facebook post earlier this year.
During a brief appearance at the Scottburgh Magistrates Court this morning, Magistrate Vincent Hlatswayo postponed the matter to allow for consultation between the accused and her new lawyer - Legal Aid representative Elaine MacDonald.
The defense also requested for the State to provide further particulars to them, before the next appearance.

Two months ago the Equality Court in Scottburgh found Sparrow guilty of hate speech, ordering her to pay R150 000 to the Oliver and Adelaide Tambo Foundation for her racist Facebook rant on New Year's eve.
The matter has been adjourned to September 19.
