The DA has announced that it will take legal action against EFF leader Julius Malema for leading the song “Kill The Boer” over the weekend.
During the EFF’s 10th birthday celebrations on Saturday, Malema and 100 000 supporters sung the struggle song at the crowded FNB Stadium.

During a virtual address on Monday, DA leader John Steenhuisen said Malema had sought to “resurrect a demon of violence and hatred that once gripped the country prior to 1994”.
“He instructed them to ‘kill the Boer, kill the farmer’. Then he mimicked the sound of machine gun fire to members of his political cult, who answered with thunderous approval.”
Steenhuisen claims that the party, along with the EFF, would file complaints against the ANC at the United Nations.
“The first element of our UN case will focus on Malema’s repeated incitement of ethnic violence.
“The second element will charge the ANC national government before the UN over its years-long failure to take action against their one-time protégé even as brutal farm murders continue to escalate in the wake of Malema’s demagoguery.”
