Johannesburg – South African President Cyril Ramaphosa replied on Tuesday against the demand of President Donald Trump that the opposition politician Julma be arrested, for repeatedly singing “kill the farmer.”
Also on Tuesday, a superior politician within the Government of South Africa told Fox News Digital the song “Inflaimed hate” and requested “legal consequences.”
In the Oval Office of the White House last week, President Trump had a video that showed Malema doing the song shown to the then Visitor Ramaphosa. Trump told the South African leader that Malema should be arrested.
On Sunday, Malema, leader of the political party of the fighters of economic freedom (EFF), which threw just under 10% of the votes in the South African elections of May of May and is not part of the government of the National Unity, he told a multitude of thousands in a demonstration, “I will” I will “” “I will” “I will be” I will be a Bee -Toy.

Only four days after the president’s call that he should be arrested, Malema threw himself again to the song, shouting for cheers “shoot to kill. Kill the Boer (African farmer), the farmer.” Afrikaners are descendants of the Dutch settlers who first arrived in South Africa in 1652.
Appealing to want to emphasize the challenge, Malema then sang “I repeat, Mato al Boer, the farmer.”
In reaction to President Trump asking for the judgment of Malema, President Ramaphosa told journalists that there are no plans to stop the EFF leader. “It is not an issue in which we must be instructed by anyone (to) go to judge this. (Malema) We are a very proud sovereign country that has law possess, which has its own processes.”
Ramaphosa continued that the equivalent of South Africa of the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court, had decided in 2022 the slogan “kill the Boer, kill the farmer” was only a song of release of decades “, and it is a slogan, and it is a message or a tense time or time. Ges oh, all the messages and gos all Ges Ges oh tbsallits and gosal. It is located in the Judicial Services Commission of South Africa, the body that appoints the judges here.

All this is in the context of President Trump accusing South Africa or genocide against farmers and inviting so far 49 whites to fly to the United States as refugees.
“That song does not take place in a democratic South Africa,” Ian Cameron told Fox Digital of the Democratic Alliance (DA). The DA is the main opposition party in South Africa. They are members of the National Unity Government, and Cameron served as president of the Portfolio Police Committee.
Cameron Sid that Malema sang the song again last weekend was “continuing to divide society and inflame hatred and distrust. (Ti) plays a specific role in why agricultural attacks in South Africa are so unique: while Brut continues, and that this is, and this in rural areas, the followers openly celebrate violence in social networks.”

“I think that the repeated incitement of Julius Malema, special through songs like ‘Kill the Boer’, crosses a dangerous and unacceptable line,” Cameron continued. “Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of democracy, but it cannot be used as a shield for the violence of promotion. At least, there must be legal consequences for incitement to violence, and our justice system must be afraid or favor.”
Ramaphosa said he was not going to arrest the people “Willy Nilly”, and added on Tuesday: “We are a country where freedom of expression is the Breock of our constitutional agreement.”
None of this has eliminated Malema, who is registered by saying: “I will sing the song as and when I like it.”
Fox News Digital contacted Malema but did not receive an answer.

The attacks on black and black farmers here are real. Cameron told Fox News Digital: “Personally I have stopped following these attacks. I have entered scenes that looked like slaughterhouses. I remember a farm where the victim’s nail marks were still embedded in the carpet from where it was dragged and tortured. These are not ordinary crimes already often include dispersed violence.”
