Malema Denies Knowledge of 'Kill the Boer' Song in Court

South Africa: Malema Denies Knowledge of EFF Members Singing 'Kill the Boer' in Court On May 27, 2025, Julius Malema appeared in court in South Africa. The hearing focused on the controversial song "Kill the Boer," sung by some members of his party, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). Malema was questioned about his knowledge of this song and its implications. The video clip shows a tense moment in the courtroom. Malema, when asked if he knew of EFF members singing the song, responded: "I didn't know, my Lord." He went on to explain the process of EFF membership, stating that it's not simply about wearing a t-shirt but requires a formal membership card. This suggests an attempt to distance himself from the actions of some party members. The incident highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the song's lyrics and the broader issues of race and violence in South Africa. Malema's response, while denying direct knowledge, is likely to fuel further discussion on his leadership and the EFF's stance on the matter. The legal proceedings are ongoing, and the outcome will have significant political implications for the country.
