Our comment regarding statements by Julius Malema

25 October 2023

Our comment regarding statements by Julius Malema in Pretoria on 24 October.

Mr Malema prides himself on causing division among fellow South Africans, using his trademark hateful rhetoric. He is a man full of hate.

Julius Malema has been remarkably quiet for the past 2 weeks but chose now to associate freedom fighters with rape, murder of babies and kidnapping. We differ with this interpretation as we have never seen any evidence to suggest that such tactics were used by South African freedom fighters.

Fortunately we have laws locally and internationally that prohibit incitement and threats to violence. We will keep all options open.
