Julius Malema in particular is the guy, the leader of the economic freedom fighters.
He looks like he's lots of fun.
He would say he's celebrating the struggle against apartheid, and that's why he chants this. But then he would also say that the struggle isn't over. Right, the struggle is never over, not for the communists.
Yeah. Yeah. So he would make a speech and the speech would be along the lines of, we need to slit the throat of whiteness. He would say things like that. He would say- That's all conceptual. Yeah, and then he would make a, this is an exact quote. He would say, all white people are criminals and they should be treated as such. He would say this during the speech and then he would give an applause.
And he says, if you, and then they do the dehumanization thing, they call them cockroaches and all of that.
Yep. So they would do that. They would talk about economic inequality. And the road, they would suggest that the road to your wealth is to go and attack those people over there. And then they would say things like, again, this is a direct quote. If you see a beautiful piece of land, go and take it. It's yours. So they would make these claims.
Yeah, exactly. The people who own it are criminals.
And so this same guy, again, during a speech, and he was asked about this in court.
So he said, we are not calling for the slaughter of white people, at least for now. That's the line he used. Well then, everyone's relieved by that. Yeah, at least for now, happy. So there was a court case against this song, this chant, and he was asked to explain this. And he said, I can't guarantee the future.
So the lawyer asked him, if you say I'm not calling for the slaughter of white people, at least for now, do you foresee a future where you might call for the slaughter of white people? And he said, yes, I do. I foresee that. But that would be their fault. It would be the fault of white people. Yes, of course. For not... getting to the program.
And so they would make these speeches, and then once the speech is finished.
So they would then burst into this chant. And it's not even a song. It's just a chant. Kill the boer, kill the farmer. And there are different variations. They often, they would make these.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's bizarre. But you know what's really, really shameful is, so I and many others have been campaigning against this for quite some time. And I can honestly say I'm not aware of a single cause in South Africa for which you get more viciously attacked by people in the media, the government, and so forth. In South Africa? In South Africa. And in the rest of the world?
And largely in the rest of the... No, I mean, I'm talking about a South African cause for which you get attacked more than campaigning for the farm killings to stop and for the hate speech to stop. So explain that. It would be, you would be accused of fear mongering
And so we had this term, Roy Gefahr, the red danger was the fear about the communists. And now the accusation is Swart Gefahr. So you are depicting black people as dangerous when it's a minority. It is a minority who's doing these things. But you get viciously attacked for- Depicting resentful communists as dangerous, like they are. Right, right. So- I think there's a reason why.
I think there's because some form of a hierarchy of recognition in terms of who should be recognized for the hardships that they face. And when it comes to recognizing hardships in South Africa.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is sort of an inconvenient reality when you go to the area of oppression Olympics.
So people don't want that to be part of the conversation.
Because it's inconvenient to us.
