The lobby group accuses the SAHRC of bias following the commission’s decision that the EFF leader is not guilty of hate speech.
The EFF leader made the comments in 2016, speaking to supporters and media outside the Newcastle Magistrate’s Court in KwaZulu-Natal, where he faced charges of inciting people to occupy privately owned land, a case which culminated in him launching amedia briefing The lobby group’s CEO said: “Had a white person stated that they were ‘not calling for the slaughter of black people, at least not for now’, this would almost certainly have been found to constitute hate speech.”
It said the commission’s findings were racially biased and accused the SAHRC’s ruling of justifying “blatant hate speech” and the “incitement of violence” against a minority group.
