Basson, a sub-contractor for the company Ericsson had her contract ended after the racist remarks she made on Facebook went viral.
After being involved in an accident with a taxi, Basson decided to display her frustrations on Facebook.
“kaff*r” and a “savage” “Effing "K" taxi. And once again I vote for the death penalty. These savages don't deserve to live. But more importantly Daniel is alive and I am alive. They can rot in hell,” she wrote.
The comment went viral on the social and Basson soon found herself without a job.
Ericsson South Africa M.D Magnus Mchunguzi told SABC news that Basson had ‘breached their business ethics’.
“I do apologise for my unnecessary and hurtful remarks I have made on this public forum. My intention was not to be insensitive nor derogatory,” Basson later wrote.
And so we ask is racism completely over in South Africa?
