Viegas‚ a popular DJ‚ is a former construction worker who is believed to have worked for a number of multi-national mining companies in South Africa. A Facebook page under his name and with his picture included comments of how he hates black people in South Africa and Africa.
The posts said he was done with the “K****r Africa” and had had enough of “k*****s” in his life.
“F*** South Africa bro‚ I’m done with whole of K****r Africa not just South Africa the whole black p**s infected land called Africa‚” he posted.
“I don’t know how to explain and put words how (sic) much I hate a k****r boet!!!...I just can’t put into words!!!!!”
It is believed that Viegas is now living in the UK.
In another post‚ Viegas’s friend‚ DeeJay Costa‚ says: “Wonder what they will do when they realise that food doesn’t come from Pick n Pay!!! It comes from the various farmers around SA who buy for Pick n Pay…It will be to (sic) late when that happens and there is NO food!!!”
Contacted for comment‚ Deejay Costa initially denied any knowledge of his comment.
When asked if a screengrab could be sent to him‚ he said that he could not recall the post but if it was him‚ his comment had not been racist.
“I am not supporting racism in any form‚ I don’t support it‚ and I even hate that word (k****r)‚ I refuse to say the word.
"My comment as you read it to me was not saying any word of racism‚ my mistake was to comment on people’s statuses.”
