While some people have labelled Gareth Cliff a “racist”, DJ Sbu believes that this is not true.
Gareth was fired from Idols SA after making a comment regarding the Penny Sparrow outrage. Penny angered a lot of people after calling black South African beach goers “monkeys”.
Gareth took to Twitter and wrote: “People don’t understand free speech at all.” This landed him in hot water and he was dismissed by M-Net.
DJ Sbu is one of the few celebrities to publicly show their support to Gareth. The businessman and TV personality posted a video on Instagram from the CliffCentral studios. In his caption, Sbu mentioned that Gareth is “the last person to be racist.”
