The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) has said it continues to receive a “plethora” of complaints of racially insensitive and inciting material, particularly from social media, targeting individuals, politicians and political parties.
In a release on Friday, the ERC acknowledged that although its capacity has been “unavoidably reduced” due to adherence to COVID-19 protocols and restrictions, it will continue to work towards assessing and investigating complaints “in a timeframe within the context noted.”
