An administration assistant at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University has come under fire for a racially charged e-mail sent from her university account that complains about Muslims praying in Westering suburb‚ stating they should move back to their own country.
An NMMU staffer is under fire for a racial email sent, condemning Muslim prayer sitesThe e-mail has sent shockwaves through the Port Elizabeth Muslim community after it was uploaded to Facebook last week.
“It seems that Muslim love to push their religion on the western world and expect us to tolerate and accept this‚ but it is about time that we as western stand up and say enough is enough ‚” it reads.
“If they want their so-called centre then they must have it their own country.”
While the e-mail was sent from Hazel Kendrickc’s NMMU account on Monday last week‚ she claims it was hacked.
“I am very distressed about this‚” Kendrick said yesterday.
“My e-mail has been hacked‚ and apologies to anyone for the inconvenience.”
Kendrick works at the university’s chemistry department.
It seems the e-mail stems from an application by the Westering Jamaat Khana‚ which received permission from the municipality to gather and pray at a house in Boshoff Street.
The application was approved by mayor Athol Trollip during a mayoral committee meeting in October.
But the decision is being reviewed after objections were received.
A screen grab of the e-mail that was circulated online has the full name of the sender‚ but the receiver had been blacked out.
