On Saturday 2nd January 2016 a racist comment by Penny Sparrow on the social media went viral, causing an outpour of racist comments, threats and actions against a number of people. This includes criminal action against Penny Sparrow by the Democratic Alliance. Shortly after this a radio interview by Metro FM, in which the alleged Penny Sparrow made even more racially based comments, fueled the flames.
Front National, with the assistance of a forensic investigator, investigated the affair and discovered the following:
• All available phone numbers, including Penny Sparrow’s cell phone number, work number and home number, were created om 30 November 2015 – exactly one month before the incident.
• There is no record of Penny Sparrow with SARS before 2011.
• The ID Number belonging to Penny Sparrow leads to a person employed by the South Coast Herald. “Penny Sparrow” herself claimed to work for South Coast Herald in 2008 and we found evidence that she was involved with this newspaper, as well as another, as far back as 2006.
In light of this information, Front National came to the conclusion there is much more to the entire Penny Sparrow affair than meets the eye. It is further obvious that, since we called for people who is familiar with Penny Sparrow to contact us and started hinting that we have doubts two days ago, the media focusses on Chris Hart, Gareth Cliff and others, but not a word about Penny Sparrow.
We now challenge the DA to provide evidence that Penny Sparrow was indeed a member of the party. We challenge Metro FM to reveal the identity of the “Penny Sparrow” who was interviewed and we challenge the South Coast Herald to explain Penny Sparrow’s involvement with their newspaper.
