South African police probes 'racist' Facebook photo

London , Mon, 29 Aug 2011 ANI

London, Aug 29 (ANI): South African police are investigating an image posted on Facebook of a white man posing with a gun and the seemingly lifeless body of a black child, like a hunter with his prey.

 

Police spokesman Zweli Mnisi has called on the rifle-bearing man in the photograph, or anyone who recognises him, to come forward, regardless of whether the picture is fake or not.

 

"If, indeed, it reflects a real incident, those responsible must be severely punished," the Telegraph quoted Mnisi, as saying.

 

The picture was posted, on June 24 last year, on the Facebook page of one 'Eugene Terrorblanche', a play on the name of white supremacist leader Eugene Terre'Blanche, who was murdered last year.

 

The picture was removed from the page, which boasts a photograph of Terre'Blanche on horseback, waving the swastika-like flag of his Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB -Afrikaner Resistance Movement).

 

The AWB's khaki-wearing supporters violently opposed South Africa's transition to democracy and campaigned for a self-governing white state. (ANI)
