A young man, Henrico Barnard whose racist videos on TikTok went viral is currently in hospital.
Police in the Waterberg District in Limpopo has since laid charges of intimidation, crimen injuria and incitement to commit violence.
The charges were confirmed by Limpopo police spokesperson Motlafela Mojapelo.
Barnard caught the attention of social media users following his response to the shooting incident in Muldersdrift where a hotel guest, Len Cloete was shot in the head.
Cloete, who is still in hospital, was shot by police after he tried to disarm a female officer while daring to shoot him.
Barnard posted two videos on his account, where he used the K-word 12 times before threatening to kill any police officer who tried to arrest him.
In several other videos posted on his account, he uses the "K" word multiple times and openly claims to be a fan of Adolf Hitler.
He also encouraged the murder of black people who he referred to as parasites.
The videos have since been deleted with an apology.

Barnard's excuse was that the video of the incident in Muldersdrift had shocked him and that he overreacted, he also said that he would take a break from social media for now.
Mojapelo says he does not know why Barnard is in hospital but he will be arrested once he is discharged.
The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) also told Algoa FM News that their legal team has been instructed to take the necessary steps.
Barnard who refers to himself as a Pagan witch on TikTok also caught the attention of the South African Pagan Rights Alliance (SAPRA) who condemned his videos.
SAPRA issued a brief statement on their Facebook page stating that Barnard was not a member of their Alliance nor was he a participating member of any Pagan social media group known to them.
Former Estate Agent Vikcky Momberg was famously the first South African to receive a prison sentence for using the K-word - no-less than 48 times in an angry tirade against a police officer at an accident scene.
In 2018, former businessman Adam Catzavelos made headlines when a video went viral of him celebrating the fact that there were no "K" people in sight on a beach in Greece where he was on holiday.
Catzavelos' case ended up in the Equality Court where he was sentenced to community service and a fine of R150 000.
