In response, Fourie opened a crimen injuria case against Mojela after being fired.
“The National Prosecuting Authority’s (NPA) reluctance to prosecute in Fourie’s case is not only an obstruction of justice, but also a threat to social cohesion in the country, because false accusations of this nature can fuel racial tension in the country,” Roets said.
Fourie’s reputation suffered “irreparable damage” as a result of Mojela’s “false accusations”, he said.
“It is unacceptable that people who make false claims of racism are allowed to get away with it, while it has far-reaching and negative consequences for those who are implicated.
“It sends the wrong message to society and can result in even more unfounded accusations being made by others.”
The NPA could not be reached for comment at the time of publishing.
