Irvin Khoza, chief of the local organising committee for the 2010 World Cup, has responded strongly to a journalist's question during a news media briefing on Tuesday and recorded on an eTV camera.

When asked about the alleged troubles affecting the 2010 organising committee, Khoza responded in no uncertain terms.

"You must stop thinking like a kaffir," said the man heading the committee. Then he went a step further to try to explain why he chose such strong language.

"Don't do that because you are causing problems," said Khoza.

eTV reported that the Human Rights Commission had expressed shock and demanded that he retract the statement.
