It is no wonder South Africa is home to some of the African continents most racist companies seen in the past years. South Africa is home of many African owned franchises like Shoprite and Rocomamas.
It’s also home to BBC Africa (1 Park Road, 3rd Floor, Richmond, JOHANNESBURG, 20921) since following the news giant for some time I’ve noticed the racism. Articles seem to have insulting wording, or horrible images of poverty stricken African countries.
There is also said to be an East African office in Nairobi, Kenya.
Noticing some very racist & misleading headlines with poorly researched stories. One of the most recent was one that called out Kenyans as helping people in western countries cheat. Instead of the news agency reporting about the many Americans and Europeans looking to purchase essay papers.
They’re the cheaters, not those employed to write, some of whom don’t know that what they’re writing…
