Malema's Brackenfell remarks are a call to violence, linguist testifies in hate speech case
The latest hate speech application brought against EFF leader Julius Malema and the party continues on Tuesday with the cross-examination of a forensic linguist.
This time, it is over comments he made, chiding party supporters for not reacting to their being assaulted during the"battle of Brackenfell" in 2020. The applicant, Dante van Wyk, asked the court to declare the remarks Malema had directed at him as hate speech and for Malema to withdraw them and apologise within seven days of an order being granted.
