Judgment in the appeal of former estate agent Vicki Momberg has been reserved in the South Gauteng High Court.
The convicted racist appeared in court on Tuesday where she delivered her own heads of argument after terminating the services of her legal team at the start of court proceedings.
She told the court she was appealing her conviction and sentence as she had been treated unfairly throughout the trial and that there had been collusion between the state, state witnesses and the magistrate.
Momberg was found guilty on four counts of crimen injuria on November 3, 2017, for calling a black police officer the k-word 48 times when he came to her aid following a smash-and-grab incident.
She was sentenced in March 2018 to three years in prison, of which one year was suspended, following her racist tirade in 2016.
"None of the witnesses were credible. They manipulated and lied during the evidence. You can see there is collusion. The unfairness travelled through the trial and sentencing," Momberg said.
"I'm not denying that my actions were not acceptable but I went through a traumatic situation and got false information while trying to get help. There was no control over the situation."
Momberg said that there was a witness who said there hadn't been a smash-and-grab, which showed that their testimonies were inconsistent and false.
