John Steenhuisen criticises Julius Malema

DA leader John Steenhuisen did not waste the second criticising the EFF leader on the DA’s youtube channel. He accused Malema of inciting civil war and resurrecting the demon of hatred by chanting, “Kill the boer, kill the farmer” to a FNB Stadium packed to the brim with EFF supporters.

Steenhuisen threatens legal action against EFF and ANC

The Equality Court ruled that the song should not be taken literally and does not constitute hate speech in August 2022. Steenhuisen insisted that by using the chant, Malema instructed his followers to kill the farmer (boer).

The DA has decided to run to the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) to file charges against the Red Berets and the African National Congress (ANC), regardless of the fact that the ruling party had nothing to do with Malema chanting "kill the boer".

Steenhuisen rationalised the move, claiming that the ANC was just as complicit as the EFF because it failed to reprimand its protege, Malema. The DA leader also vowed to approach Parliament’s ethics committee, seek legal advice from the public protector or go to court.

Below are some comments:

@PhilileMaweza asked:

"Didn't EFF/Malema win a similar case before?"

@29ndumisox suggested:

"Can the DA send an invitation to the EFF for a national debate on policies/ideology and stop this nonsense of using courts to avoid debates."

@rooyrn claimed:

"Again, nothing will happen he does as he wants with no one taking it further, and he knows he will get away all the time."

@ElsaMalan8 pleaded:

"There must be immediate action, please?"
