Celebs react to Penny Sparrow race post

Johannesburg - Estate agent, Penny Sparrow found herself in hot water when her Facebook post about black people on the beach went viral. 

The racist post was picked up and quickly spread across social media, especially as Penny refers to black people as "monkeys" in the post.

The topic began trending on Twitter shortly after, with hundreds giving their views on her post.

She has since apologised, but unfortunately for Penny it seems that no one is really ready to forgive and forget her half hearted apology just yet.

And naturally some of the strongest (and funniest) comments came from our celebs.
