More racism surfaces in South Africa as company director uses K word
It was important to take a stand against racism, said Nico von Wielligh, CEO of VDB Ermelo, last week after an attempt to have a leading equipment manufacturer removed from the country’s biggest agricultural expo stalled. The agricultural products retailer has hauled leading equipment distributor Kempston Agri, based in Gqeberha, and its German supplier, Claas SA, to court after technical manager Chris Diedericks allegedly used the K-word in a presentation in December 2020.
