Butana Almond Nofomela, while working as an undercover policeman during the early 1980s, Nofomela stabbed to death a Brits farmer, Lourens. Nofomela had only intended to rob the wealthy tiller, but Lourens confronted him with a firearm and called him kaffir. This enraged Nofomela, who then killed the farmer. The Afrikaans term (Kaffir brother) was also often used to describe a white person who fraternised with or sympathized with the cause of the black and Cape Coloured community. Namibia Much as in South Africa the term was used as a general derogatory reference to blacks. A 2003 report by the Namibian Labour Resource and Research Institute states: Modern usage Post-apartheid South Africa In 2000, the parliament of South Africa enacted the Promotion of Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act. The Act's primary objectives include the prevention of hate speech terms, such as kaffir: Notwithstanding the end of Apartheid and the above-mentioned Act, usage of the word in South Africa continues today. In February 2008, there was huge media and public outcry in South Africa after Irvin Khoza, then chairperson of the 2010 FIFA World Cup organizing committee, used the term during a press briefing in reference to a journalist. A statement made during the 5 March 2008 sitting of the South African Parliament shows how the usage of the word is seen today: The phrase the K-word is now often used to avoid using the word itself, similar to the N-word, used to represent nigger. In 2012, a woman was jailed overnight and fined after pleading guilty to crimen injuria for using the word as a racial slur at a gym. In July 2014, the Supreme Court of Appeal upheld a 2012 conviction for offences of crimen injuria and assault relating to an argument about parking in which a man used the word. The judgement states: In March 2018, Vicki Momberg became the first woman to be convicted of racist language for using the term over 40 times at two South African police officers. Examples Some indicative examples: Mahatma Gandhi: "The latest papers received from South Africa, unfortunately for the Natal Government, lend additional weight to my statement that the Indian is cruelly persecuted being in South Africa ... A picnic party of European children used Indian and Kaffir boys as targets and shot bullets into their faces, hurting several inoffensive children." – Letter to the editor of The Times of
