How could you Mr. Khoza?

In a media briefing this week 2010 LOC Chairman and owner of Orlando Pirates, Irvin Khoza told a journalist to “Stop thinking like a K$%@#r”. According to him, he was referring to a “K$%@#r as a dubious character and unreliable.”

We think that it was very unprofessional of Mr Khoza to address the journalist in such a manner. This is a man who has dealt with journalists and the media for a number of years in his line of work and he should know better.
People who are not journalists or in the media, are quick to sue, claiming that their characters have been defamed by statements made by journalists. In the context in which the word was previously used under the apartheid regime (and the word is still very heavy in itself) the journalist should consider seeking legal advice.
Mr Khoza should also offer a public apology to the journalist and more so to South Africans.
