On Thursday morning #eNCA was trending on Twitter, with some accusing the reporter and broadcaster of racism and unconscious bias.

The Economic Freedom Fighter’s Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi weighed into the controversy, claiming that far from being ‘unconscious’ bias, the actions were deliberate and racist.

‘it is conscious, deliberate, decided upon & a normal way white people treat and relate to blacks people!”

Many netizens have already been provoked by her actions, a Twitter user with the name Maphanga Maseko has luanched an official compliant about the incident to the South African Human Rights Commission, demanding that Lindsay did what she did because she was trying to portray balck people as the Covid-19 spreaders.
