Economic Freedom Font (EFF) leader Julius Malema has brazenly sung Kill The Boeragain, just days after US President Donald Trump condemned him for encouraging the “white genocide” of South African farmers.
The controversial leader performed the struggle song at a political rally in Koppies, Free State, on Sunday, 25 May.
MALEMA SINGS ‘KILL THE BOER’, SAYS ‘THIS IS NOT MY SONG’
Following his address in the Free State, Julius Malema performed Kill The Boer on stage, as he has done many times before.
Take a look…
The EFF leader responded to President Trump’s call for South African government to arrest him based on the former’s performance of the struggle song.
Defending his actions, Malema said: “There are courts in South Africa, and the courts have said, there is nothing wrong with this song. This is not my song; I did not compose this song. I found this song. The struggle heroes composed this song. All I am doing is defending the legacy of a struggle; this is the heritage of our struggle.
“I will never stop singing a song that Winnie Mandela sang before she died. That would be a betrayal to the struggle of our people”.
DEMANDING A MEETING WITH TRUMP
Also during his address, Julius Malema challenged President Trump to engage with him about his concerns about “white genocide” and farm attacks.
He boldly said, “I will never be intimidated by America or Donald Trump.
“They should have called me into that meeting. I would’ve answered everything Donald Trump wanted from us. If they are not scared of me, call me into that meeting.
“Trump will never do that nonsense in my presence because I will confront him with the facts”.
Malema continued: “There are so many people killed in South Africa, and the majority are blacks. There is no white genocide”.
IS ‘KILL THE BOER’ UNCONSTITUTIONAL?
According to a 2022 ruling, the Equality Court found that Kill The Boerwas not considered hate speech.
In March, the Constitutional Court – the highest in South Africa – rejected AfriForum’s appeal, stating that the song deserved to be protected under freedom of speech.
