Henrico Barnard, a TikTok user, filmed a racial outburst on his TikTok account after the shooting that took place in Muldersdrift this week.
Barnard filmed the video in Afrikaans and said that he is fed-up of these [k-word] and tired of these [k-word] of this country.
“I am going to drive with my car and today I kill a [k-word], if I see a police car, I will run into them or burn the police station down.”
He goes on to say that he is a “huge fan” of Hitler and that [k-word] should be killed.
His racist, derogatory and slanderous outburst caught the attention of social media users. The incident that sparked the racial outburst took place at the Misty Hills Lodge in Muldersdrift in Gauteng. In the video of the incident, which can be viewed here, three police members are in an argument with Cloete, before Cloete is shot in the head. South Africans are divided over who is to be found at fault – Cloete or the police.
A screenshot of the Tiktok video that Barnard made has been shared, meanwhile Barnard’s social media accounts have since been disabled.
Gushwell Brooks, spokesperson for the human rights commission, told FiND iT he is not yet aware of the video. He will comment on it later.
The video should be viewed with extreme caution. Watch the video here.
