A WITCH HUNT?
Meanwhile, Cape Town muso The Kiffness has called out Anele for her stance, which he labels as a “witch hunt of a child”.
Not for the first time, the outspoke artist publicly bashed the 947 presenter for her support towards the EFF.
He tweeted: “Anele praises racists who call for the killing of Boers in stadiums of 90k people, while starting a witch-hunt on a 15-year-old racist kid messing around on Omegle.
What that child said was completely unacceptable and should be taken up with the school and with the family. It must be condemned and we should expect better of our youth, however, the sheer amount of doxxing of an under-aged child by prominent media personalities is abhorrent.

“Neither are acceptable, but the double standard in how both are treated is mad”.
He added: “Watch out for the people who praise one racist but start witch hunts on others. They are the biggest hypocrites and the worst racists of all”.
