Parliamentarian Calls For Genocide!

Julius Malema, leader of the EFF and a Member of Parliament in South Africa raised the slogans ‘kill the boer, farmer..’ during the anniversary rally of EFF. This has yet again sparked a huge controversy and organizations like AGRI SA and Afriforum have openly criticized the act calling it a step too far.

Malema, leader of the EFF ( Economic Freedom Fighters), a far left political outfit, has agitated many people in South Africa by chanting the lyrics of the infamous song ‘Dubul’ Ibhuno’ or Kill The Boer. The particular song’s lyrics were declared hate speech once but last year a judgment came in favor of the song and it was declared not harmful or hate speech. Afriforum cries that the chanting of slogan is illegal as the matter is still under trial. Malema has been accused of using the song as a command that agitates Afrikaans to commit murder and crime.

There has always been an attempt to establish a relationship between the farm attacks and the slogan. Malema has always denied these allegations. He has held the discriminative apartheid practices responsible for the anger among the Afrikaans. He also denied that any of the political members of EFF has been involved in these killings and there’s no evidence to prove otherwise.
