"I'm not afraid of dying. It beats me why I'm still alive as I died long ago. I'm [also] not scared of killing. A revolutionary is a walking killing machine. I will kill if ever I'm required to do so, especially if it is to defend my people," said Malema.

SA reacts, Julius Malema's 'Kiss the Boer' case: "Catching feelings over a song"

Earlier, Briefly News reported that the footage of Julius Malema appearing before the Equity Court for the AfriForum case has gone viral as South Africans give their take on the EFF leader saying that the words of the song 'Kill the Boer' were simply misheard.

With no video evidence of Malema singing the song and the politician having his way, netizens are at odds as some side with Julius and others can't shake the feeling that the entire court proceeding is a farce.

Julius Malema provided the Equity Court with some comedic relief yesterday (16 February) as he explained that he feels the lyrics of Dubul’ibhunu aka 'kill the boer' were misheard and that there was no need for AfriForu to cause mass panic in the country.
