A group of white Afrikaners marched to the US Embassy on Friday, 28 March, calling for the arrest of Julius Malema. This follows the EFF leader’s controversial performance of the Apartheid struggle song, Kill The Boer, last week.

The song has sparked outrage around the world, including criticism by the world’s richest man, Elon Musk.

Meanwhile, the Constitutional Court has upheld the ruling that the song is considered freedom of speech.

AFRIKANERS MARCH TO US EMBASSY

On Friday, a contingent of white Afrikaners, mobilised by the Black Monday activist group, marched to the US Embassy to hand over another memorandum.

This included their concerns over farm killings, “racist laws” like BEE, Expropriation Bill and the Bela Bill, and Julius Malema singing Kill The Boer.

The group carried placards that read: “Malema needs to go to jail” and “100% white genocide”. Another read: “Make South Africa Great Again.”

One of the speakers who addressed the crowd said: “31 years after the end of Apartheid, we are still blamed for the government’s failures.

“We are singled out as the common enemy, often to disguise conflict black cultural groups.

“South Africa has become a very polarised and divided society with racist and hate speech targeted against white people, without any prosecution.”

Also addressing the crowd was controversial politician Dan Roodt, whose tweet over a pilot who died in the Saldanha Bay Airshow last week went viral for all the wrong reasons.

Roodt stood by claims that there was a “white genocide” in the country.

MALEMA MOCKS CRITICS WITH ‘KILL THE BOER’ COURT RULING

Meanwhile, the Constitutional Court has upheld the Equality Court’s ruling that Kill The Boer was not hate speech or incitement of violence.

It also denied the Afrikaner activist group AfriForum leave to appeal against it.

In 2022, the Equality Court ruled that the song was “protected under South Africa’s freedom of speech and expression laws and should be considered a political statement rather than a literal call to violence.”

Julius Malema reposted the Constitutional Court’s stance this week, tagging both Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump.

“Try me, boys,” he tweeted.
