Racist Julius’ faces hate speech charge Sowetan, 11 March 2010 Youth leader offends AfriForum CIVIL rights group AfriForum’s youth division plans to hand a list of more than 1600 farm attacks to the ANC Youth League at Luthuli House today. AfriForum Youth national chairperson Ernst Roets said yesterday the movement would also submit a complaint against ANCYL president Julius Malema to the Equality Court, directly after handing over the list of farm attacks victims. “These steps follow after Malema sang the song Dubula ibhunu (shoot the boer) at least twice at public occasions this past week,” Roets said. “The list of victims that will be handed to the ANCYL serves to remind them that farm attacks are a reality in South Africa that cannot be taken lightly.” The list would be handed over at 1pm today. Roets said Malema’s statements were irresponsible and in no way justifiable. “We are not busy with childish cowboys and crooks games . Real people are being murdered while Malema sings and sips champagne.” He said the movement was inundated with complaints from people who were highly offended by Malema’s statements. “People are extremely emotional and many say that they fear for their lives.” Roets said AfriForum Youth would ask the court to classify the song as hate speech and order Malema to apologise “unconditionally” for singing the song. They would also ask the court to compel Malema to pay compensation to an organisation that assists farm attack victims. They also want the case to be referred to the director of public prosecutions for Malema to be prosecuted on criminal charges. – Sapa Sent via my BlackBerry from Vodacom - let your email find you!
