A Durban man fired over a racist email 10 years ago has lost his bid to get his job back .
According to Times report, Vishnu Chetty, a former engineer, was fired in 2004 after printing and circulating an e-mail depicting black people as relatives of monkeys.
Chetty, who denied sending the email, took the matter to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA), which confirmed the fairness of the dismissal.
Chetty also approached the Labour Court requesting that the award issued by the commissioner be reviewed and set aside, according to court documents.
His bid was dismissed by the judge, who found that the racially offensive joke justified Chetty’s dismissal.
