Oh dear … Recent reports on Twitter show that a statue of Mahatma Gandhi has been defaced – adding to the recent spate of statue vandalism across South Africa. Apparently in this latest incident, which occurred on Sunday, a group of people threw buckets of white paint on the statue amid racist taunts. The group also displayed placards reading “Racist Ghandi must fall”. Read the tweets below. Updates to follow. – Tracey Ruff
