Convicted racist Vicki Momberg was sentenced in the Randburg Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
She was sentenced three years in prison of which 1 year is suspended for a period of three years on condition that she does not commit a similar crime.
Momberg was found guilty of four counts of crimen injuria last year after video footage of her hurling insults at a black cop using the K-word went viral on social media.
In the video, Momberg was heard complaining about the caliber of black people in the country.
The court found that although the complainant might have been a victim of smash and grab, the choice of words she used during her outbursts were racial and directed specifically at black people.
Magistrate Pravina Rugoonandan said by using the K-word was stripping the victim of his dignity and respect.
She said she was not certain that Momberg had not shown any remorse for her actions even though she was found guilty by both the criminal and the equality court.
The magistrate said Momberg was caught on camera saying ”I don’t care what anyone says I don’t like these ‘k***’”.
She used the K-word 48 times that evening.
