Caster fans in twar with UK columnist 'troll'

South Africans are still stewing over a UK columnist who “trolled” gold medalist Caster Semenya.

Radio talk show host Eusebius McKaiser called Hopkins a “troll” and posted a picture of a victorious Semenya‚ adding: “Take THAT!”

The win saw South Africans rally with renewed vigour against columnist Katie Hopkins who‚ in an article in the Mail Online on Friday‚ questioned the gender of Semenya.

Hopkins then became embroiled in a heated debate on Twitter‚ defending her views.

South Africans were having none of it and some resorted to reporting Hopkins for hate speech and gender discrimination. Hopkins rebuffed the fierce criticism.

“Please do report me for gender discrimination‚ sir. I think you are on to something‚” she replied in one tweet.

“Congratulations to #CasterSemenya - Takes real balls to run like that‚” was her response.

@Rembu_Ree reminded the columnist‚ “The fastest WOMAN in the world is a Black South African!... And there is NOTHING you can do about it except bark!!”
