Vicki Momberg was granted bail of R2 000 at the Randburg Magistrate’s court yesterday, and is appealing her sentencing and conviction of crimen injuria.

In layman speak, that makes her South Africa’s first convicted racist.

She also holds the record for ‘worst timing ever for a white person to wear cornrows‘, and that is going to take some beating.

You would imagine that being a convicted racist (not rapist) would lead to some form of self-muzzling, but yesterday in court it emerged that Vicki has still been mouthing off whilst behind bars.

Times LIVE with these details:

Momberg behaved so badly in jail that she was charged twice for verbally abusing prison officials…

“During her time of incarceration, Ms Momberg was charged twice by the DCS. Both charges were related to her verbal assaults towards officials and service providers, saying that they are uneducated and immature,” Department of Correctional Services spokesperson Mocheta Monama told Times Select.

Monama said the first incident happened when Momberg verbally assaulted prison wardens who were transporting her from the court back to the prison. SowetanLive at the time reported that the language she used was so foul it could not be repeated.

The second incident happened while she was behind bars.

“The first incident happened in April, the second in May … In the second incident, she was insulting them after they gave her instructions, calling them illiterate and immature.

“The offender was charged internally. Officials did not want to press charges externally. Such conduct by offenders can never be accepted and the department will not lose vigour in its effort to maintain a high standard of service delivery and security,” he said.

The consequences of her actions resulted in her losing some of her prison privileges.

Locked up for a racist tirade, in a landmark ruling for the country, and she continues to rant and rage whilst behind bars? Something tells me this woman has some deep-seated anger issues that need resolving.

Then again, we know she used the k-word at least 48 times, so we’ve known that for a while.

If you missed yesterday’s court proceedings, here’s a little recap:

Of course, there are two sides to every story, so we should also hear from Kingdom Onah of Vicki’s defence team:

He lashed out at the Department of Correctional Services, saying their “behaviour was appalling” and adding that his client had informed him “of the inhumane treatment” she had received.

Despite an earlier agreement between the state and defence to apply for Momberg’s bail, prison officials had barred her from coming to court with her belongings, Onah said.

“Also, how bad could it be for prison authorities not to inform my client that she has received leave to appeal?” Onah said, adding that he had had difficulty reaching Momberg following the High Court’s ruling to grant her leave to appeal on Monday.

Monama disagreed, calling claims of mistreatment “untrue and unfounded”.
