Katie Hopkins has had her passport confiscated and has been banned from leaving South Africa, she revealed in a video posted to Twitter:

One tweet from this morning read: "I was detained at Joburg airport & had my passport confiscated on the orders of the ANC, trying to prevent me ENTERING the country. The slaughter of whites is a truth they don't want told."

In a later post she then shared a video from passport control, which she captioned: "Detained at passport control on the orders of the @MYANC. Amazing security co-ordination from a country where police do not respond to white farm murders because they are 'on lunch break' #ANC"

In the video, she explained that she was being detained for 'spreading racial hatred' in South Africa.

"At passport control, I've been through security and I've been detained. My passport has been marked for spreading racial hatred here in South Africa," she said, adding: "For trying to find out and tell the story of white farmers being murdered.

"I'm not sure what's going to happen. They've taken my passport away from me, but it doesn't look like at this present time I'll be allowed to board my flight and leave the country."

She hit headlines at the weekend after posting a cryptic photo of her lying on the floor in South Africa, surrounded by emergency services after 'ketamine' apparently got one up on her.

"Grateful thanks to the South African emergency services for putting me back together," she captioned the photo. "Leaving it all on the road, to tell the truths not being told. *ketamine 1 / Hopkins 0)".

It wasn't until later that day that she revealed she had taken ketamine for medical reasons, requiring the drug for a serious dislocation.

Katie was in South Africa documenting 'the violent, ethnic cleansing of white farmers by armed, black gangs', according to her blog HopkinsWorld.

"It's infuriating, it's heartbreaking," Hopkins wrote. "And the world doesn't care. Or at least the mainstream media doesn't care. Do you?

"Every day I've been down here, I've produced a short video clip of what I've seen. Brave men and women who are still fighting for their land, for their families and their future. And so many who have been killed or wounded."

She's also currently crowdfunding the project in the hope that a TV channel will eventually bid for the broadcasting rights.
