        Precisely what I thought. Maybe he'll just stay in Greece?

        His sacking is damage control, purely business and nothing to do with their mindset or belief.

        His family fired him from a family business. Good. But I wonder who taught him all the racism. Surely he wasn't born with it. Maybe it's friends.

        Firing him is still not enough. He should leave South Africa; because if you dispise blacks (Africans) in Africa, their continent of origin, where the f#$@ do you think they should go!!!!!?

        Hi @BBCAfrica! That man makes disgusting and appalling statements, but why exactly is this "news"? Do you report on all racist statements by anyone anywhere? What's the good of that?
