SA race relations so bad, it could lead to civil war - Bernard Ngoepe

Johannesburg - Race relations in South Africa are so bad that it could lead to civil war, retired Judge Bernard Ngoepe has warned.

Ngoepe told a forum at the Institute for the Advancement of Journalism that racism should be criminalised.

"Sometimes I think road rage between black and white could lead to civil war in this country - if you look at what is happening in this country," he said.
