JOHANNESBURG - The police have arrested Belinda Magor, who made racist remarks about black men and women in a leaked WhatsApp rant.

Magor was furious about the public calling on the government to ban pit bulls after the rise of fatal human attacks by the dog breed.

In the exposed voice note, she replied in a group chat, "Pit bulls be my voice, " advocating for the dogs to be protected. Magor furiously said that black men are the ones that should be banned because of the crimes they commit and black women should have their uteruses removed to stop them from procreating.
