ControversyEbrahim drew criticism in early January 2015 after commenting on a Facebook post by Afrikaner rights activist Sunette Bridges, in which Bridges condemned the number of white farmers murdered in 2014 by black South Africans. The actress's comment stressed the fact that South Africans of all races had fallen victim to crime in the previous year, but in it she also made remarks regarding Bridges and Afrikaner people in general, stating that they were "racists" who would "never see freedom as [they] knew it again".[15] This prompted a significant backlash on social media, with some individuals making racist remarks towards the actress and others calling for viewers to boycott 7de Laan.[16] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Vinette Ebrahim: Bio|url=https://www.tvsa.co.za/actors/viewactor.aspx?actorid=1535|website=TVSA|accessdate=8 September 2017}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Ebrahim, Vinette}}{{SouthAfrica-actor-stub}}2. ^{{cite news|title=Kumars King of Small Screen|work=The Mercury (South Africa)|publisher=Independent News and Media|date=21 March 2009}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite news|last1=Cohen|first1=Robyn|title=Kumars' Dad in New 'Material'|work=The Argus (Cape Town)|publisher=Independent News and Media|date=23 April 2011}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Khan|first1=Atiyyah|title=Suidoosterfees Celebrates People of Our City|url=https://www.iol.co.za/weekend-argus/suidoosterfees-celebrates-people-of-our-city-2016039|accessdate=9 September 2017|work=Cape Argus|publisher=Independent Newspapers|date=30 April 2016}} 5. ^1 {{cite news|title=KKNK - Soul Food for Theatregoers|work=Cape Argus|publisher=Independent News and Media|date=23 May 2007}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|last1=De Beer|first1=Diane|title=KKnK Honours the Best with Kanna Awards|work=The Star (Johannesburg)|publisher=Independent News and Media|date=15 May 2007}} 7. ^1 {{cite news|last1=de Beer|first1=Diane|title=Stars Shine Bright at Theatre Awards|work=Pretoria News|publisher=Independent Newspapers|date=18 March 2014}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Lewis|first1=Esther|title=The Ellen Pakkies Tragedy on Stage|url=https://www.iol.co.za/capeargus/the-ellen-pakkies-tragedy-on-stage-1053580|accessdate=9 September 2017|work=Cape Argus|publisher=Independent Media|date=7 April 2011}} 9. ^{{cite news|title=Max and Lola in Charming Two-Hander|url=https://www.iol.co.za/entertainment/celebrity-news/local/stars-shine-bright-at-theatre-awards-1663106|accessdate=8 September 2017|work=Cape Times (South Africa)|publisher=Independent Newspapers|date=16 January 2015}} 10. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=Age-Old Forbidden Friendship Laid Bare|work=Cape Argus|publisher=Independent Newspapers|date=26 January 2015}} 11. ^{{cite news|title=Giveaway|work=Weekend Argus (Cape Town)|publisher=Independent Online|date=23 April 2016}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=Culture in the Klein Karoo|work=Cape Times (South Africa)|publisher=Independent News and Media|date=24 March 2016}} 13. ^{{cite news|last1=Muston|first1=Leon|title=Vinette Brings Women's Day Show to Bay|work=The Herald (South Africa)|publisher=BDFM Publishers|date=7 August 2009}} 14. ^{{cite news|last1=Ncaca|first1=Nhlanhla|title=Prestige Awards to Honour Top Female Achievers|url=http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1006421|accessdate=9 September 2017|work=City Press (South Africa)|date=14 September 2008}} 15. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.netwerk24.com/nuus/2015-01-03-sepiester-looi-sunette-bridges-oor-ras |title=Sepiester looi Sunette Bridges oor ras |last1=van der Merwe|first1=Jana|last2= |first2= |date=3 January 2015 |website= |publisher=Netwerk 24 |accessdate=5 January 2015}} 16. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/western-cape/local-celebs-in-racist-spat-1.1801229#.VKpqyyuUcqI |title=Local celebs in racist spat |last1=Adams |first1=Marvin |last2= |first2= |date=5 January 2015 |website= |publisher=iol News |accessdate=5 January 2015}} 4 : South African actresses|Coloured South African people|Living people|1957 births |
