Image: Twitter @EFFSouthAfricaThe Economic Freedom Fighters has welcomed a ruling by the Johannesburg High Court, which states that comments made by businessman and ex-politician, Kenny Kunene, in relation to party leader Julius Malema, were hateful and dehumanising.of November 2021, where Kunene referred to Malema as a “frog” and a “cockroach” that he would supposedly deal with.
In a statement, the EFF says, “These comments were not only hateful, but were not considerate of the historical impact of derogatory terms used to refer to human beings, in inciting violence and genocide. Genocides and hate crimes against fellow human beings begin at the point of dehumanisation.” In its ruling, the court found that there was no justification for the comments, and that Kunene sought to incite hate and harm towards Malema.
The party further stated that, “The EFF hopes that this judgement will serve the rehabilitating purpose that the prison system has clearly failed to achieve with Kunene as an individual. The comments made by Kunene clearly reveal the inadequacies of our Correctional Services system in rehabilitating individuals who are prone to criminality.
What was said was really not acceptable, he needs to apologize. If he genuinely wanted to name and shame, why not do it to his face? Social media shouldn't be a platform to degrade one another.
See what results you get when you hire WHITE lawyers...Dali must so envious
Kenny Kunene like to interfere, how can he involve himself in cases that involve Malema, because he knows that he and Malema they don't see eye to eye?
So Kenny was just learning from the best...
cockroach .... that is an insult to cockroaches 🙁
But if they use similar thinly veiled language it is all acceptable...?
Mara yena he calls Cyril ranko all the time.
So why did this clown use the SAME ‘hateful and dehumanising’ term in relation to Helen Zille? I mean if he thinks this ruling is great? 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Perhaps his sheep would want to reflect on why he's so quick to sue if called a cockroach or wife beater yet stays clear of any court when called a corrupt, capitalist, vbs looting fraudster🤔
And Malema is free to speak hate and make dehumanising comments all he likes?
Juliaaaaaas remains a cockroach Julius_S_Malema
It does not make it any less true.
This rulling doesn't change anything,or how he's viewed by majority of SAns,He's still a cockroach & an arrogant one
