Convicted racist Momberg to apply for leave to appeal

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Former real estate agent and convicted racist Vicki Momberg is expected to appear in the Randburg Magistrate’s court, north of Johannesburg on Wednesday to apply for leave to appeal her guilty conviction and three year sentence for crimen injuria.

Last week, Momberg was sentenced to three years in prison, with one year suspended for her racist tirade in 2016.

She was found guilty on four counts of crimen injuria after she lashed out at a black police officer who helped her after an alleged smash-and-grab incident in Northriding, Johannesburg.

In November last year, Momberg was heard complaining, about the “calibre of blacks” in a video clip that went viral.

She also used the K word 48 times in the video.

During her sentencing, Magistrate Pravina Rugoonandan said Momberg’s racial slurs stripped the police officer who assisted her of his dignity.
