The FW De Klerk Foundation says the EFF leader's comment 'verges on advocacy of genocide at some future date'.

A South African Human Rights Commission complaint issued by the FW De Klerk foundation and directed at EFF leader Julius Malema has been dismissed. The SAHRC found that the comment did not constitute hate speech and that did not violate the rights of white people., accusing the SAHRC of having “brushed aside the truly chilling implication that Malema might call for the slaughter of white people at some later stage”.

“His words, by his own admission, also constituted incitement to cause harm. Does the SAHRC really think that the illegal occupation of the land of white farmers could be achieved without causing them ‘harm’?”
