EFF leader Julius Malema during the party's second people's assembly in 2019.
“The songs referred to the system of oppression. Anything that symbolised the establishment at the time, My Lord, when black police drove into black townships with police vans, we used to run and say “There comes the Boers,” but there were no boers in the van, it was black police. So anything that symbolises the system was referred to as “amabhunu.
Mbeki’s clip says “It’s not a statement. Part of the problem with this is that somebody who comes from outside of that African culture interpreted it and indeed when you then write that Peter Mokaba said “Kill the Boer. Kill the farmer” he didn’t in the sense of a statement which represents policy and it would’ve not been taken as a statement that represents policy.”Twelve years ago, Malema was taken to court by the then AfriForum Youth National Chairperson, Ernst Roets, for the chant.
But when AfriForum’s Advocate, Mark Oppenheimer questioned Malema, he dismissed claims that he sang the song.
When are they going to talk about the real issue and that is political leaders celebrating the death of a young farmer?
Kiss the farmer Kiss 💋 😘 the boe
