WESTERN Cape Equality Court has ruled that a pastor should attend four "sensitivity training sessions" after calling an individual the k-word, the SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) said on Wednesday.
The court ruled on Friday that Trevor Kordom issue an apology and pay damages.
His licence as a lay preacher was suspended for a minimum of three months.
The SAHRC said in a statement that it welcomed the ruling.
Given increased reports of racially-fuelled confrontations between South Africans, such an order was essential in fostering the society envisioned by the Preamble of the Constitution, it said.
