Avusa Media have discontinued Kuli Roberts’s column Bitch’s Brew with immediate effect following an outcry about her comments on Coloured women.
Here’s part of Kuli’s bizarre and bitchy outburst in the column titled “Jou ma se kinders” (date, February 27, 2011):
She remarked that Coloured girls were the future “for various reasons”.
“You will never run out of cigarettes,” she wrote.
“You will always be assured of a large family as many of these girls breed as if Allan Boesak sent them on a mission to increase the coloured race.
“They are the closest thing to being a white woman and we know you black men love them as they look like they’ve popped out of an Usher music video.”
According to Times Live, Avusa Media editor-in-chief Mondli Makhanya said the company had already started an internal inquiry into the matter.
Columnists and talk show hosts across the land have slammed the mean and “vicious” Roberts, applauding the move to discontinue her column.

Roberts has apologised on Twitter: “I am truly sorry to all those upset . . . no harm was intended.”
Mmmmm . . . a bit late for that, it seems.
