EFF was not bothered by DA’s attempt to file charges against “Kill the Boer” chant

The EFF says the party cannot be bothered by the DA’s attempt to lodge a complaint against party leader Julius Malema at the United Nations Human Rights Council.

The charges are over his chants “Shoot to Kill” and “Kill the Boer, the Farmer” at the EFF’s 10th anniversary celebrations held at the FNB Stadium in Soweto this weekend. In August 2022, the Equality Court ruled that the chant was not hate speech. However, the same court granted leave to appeal in October 2022 in AfriForum’s “Kill the Boer” hate speech case against the EFF’s Julius Malema and Mbuyiseni Ndlozi.
EFF spokesperson Sinawo Tambo said the chant was a revolutionary, liberation song: “We are very aware that they are painful and bitter about the EFF’s successful 10th anniversary rally and they are looking for anything to try to undermine the progress and growth of the Economic Freedom Fighters. We know that the argument we made in the equality court where we won justified that it is a revolutionary song, a liberation song justified in terms of commemorating the history of South Africa’s struggle against colonialism and apartheid.”
