The South African Human Rights Commission is justified in taking such a tough stance on Julius Malema as it is not the first time he has made both racialist and racist remarks, and got away with it, argues Ebrahim Harvey.
The leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, is once again embroiled in a racial drama, after he addressed a provincial EFF People's Assembly meeting in Cape Town last month, in which he basically incited members to attack and kill a white man who had assaulted a black EFF supporter during a demonstration at the Brackenfell High School in 2020.
In his speech, Malema, in fact, urged EFF members to track down this man, take him to a secluded spot and "take care of" him after the violent incident. He went on to say that this violent retaliation by EFF members was the duty of "revolutionaries", and if they did not act accordingly, they were not revolutionaries.
