Suggest getting a preliminary inquiry done, and in case proof emerges of this misconduct, fire him - I'm sure there must be a clause to this effect under the Dismissal Clause in the appointment letter. If such a clause does not exist, follow the procedure outlined in the Standing Order.

Dear Colleague,

To proceed against such a worker, the aggrieved individuals need to file a written complaint providing the date, time, and details of the racist comments made. Following this, call the worker in question to discuss the complaint and listen to his side of the story. If it is found that the worker is at fault, issue a mild verbal warning initially and advise him to refrain from such behavior.

Should the behavior persist, issue a show-cause notice and proceed with strict action following a domestic inquiry.
