SAHRC says #AdamCatzavelos probe underway following dozens of complaints
The SA Human Rights Commission says it's received more than 50 complaints of hate speech and racism against Adam Catzavelos' racist video.
The HRC's Priscilla Jana says they've also been inundated with requests for Catzavelos to be brought to justice.
The Johannesburg businessman's comments were met with anger - while on holiday in Greece, he filmed himself using the K-word saying it's heaven on earth because there are no black people in sight. Jana says they're investigating the matter further.
"We understand that he is still in grief. We're trying to get particulars about him before taking any further steps. We're trying to get into some kind of settlement. We want to make that settlement in order with the court and we'd like the Equality Court to assist us in this matter," she said.

The EFF has since opened a criminal case against the businessman.
Catzavelos has also been fired from his family business - a list of companies have also terminated their partnerships with the business.
Catzavelos has since issued a statement, saying he unreservedly apologises.
