PRETORIA - AfriForum on Thursday laid criminal charges of incitement to violence against the Economic Freedom Fighters' secretary-general Godrich Gardee at the Lyttelton police station in Pretoria.

The lobby group filed charges under Section 18 of the Riotous Assemblies Act, 17 of 1956.

This follows Gardee’s deleted tweet stating that the Loftus Versfeld stadium where evangelist pastor Angus Buchan has organised an event should be “booby-trapped” with limpet mines prior to the event.

“The disturbing tweet by the secretary-general of the EFF seems to indicate that the party believes it can incite violence against South African citizens without having to face any consequences. Violent threats of this nature have no place in any society, especially not from the secretary-general of the third-largest political party in South Africa,” said Ernst van Zyl, the campaign officer for AfriForum.

Idiots have way too much faith in the sahrc.

Imagine if you had something similar about a stadium filled with EFF or ANC supporters - they would be calling for your blood and you'd go to jail.

If the perpetrator was white?

Find a black person to tweet something like that and let's see?

Limpet is a waste. More of an anti material ordinance than anti personel. Would rather sugest something else...More Efficient.

Limpet, or limpet mines?

“That stadium needs some limpet mines booby-trapped around it prior to that date. Then let’s see what happens to the only people who have a ‘covenant with God’. I know this boer religious fanatic is misrepresenting the Jewish people, but he must be banned from our television screens”.

Got it.

You sure don't like those televangelists and their followers.

I was not talking about the nutjob religious folks....

Idiots have way too much faith in the sahrc.

I believe they have total faith in the SAHRC ... to make idiots of themselves again by trying to whitewash the incident.

They also went with the dual separate charges approach, one at the SAHRC, one under Section 18 of the Riotous Assemblies Act, 17 of 1956.

Seems they learnt from the SAHRC double jeopardy game.

Claymores...

Claymores...

Tbh, it show up the real world experience of these fighters.

Unless he meant to create another door or two, the noble gentleman that he is... otherwise he's just plain stupid.

 

[lived666]

I'm sure he meant limpet mines in a metaphorical and not literal way

Ordnance. Unless you meant to say that limpet mines are more of an anti-materiel authoritative decree or direction, in which case, carry on.

 

[The_Librarian]

nah, a tsar bomba will be more satisfying...



...oops, I'm probably on a watch list now.

 

[GhostSixFour]

Claymores...

Even claymores won't do that much. If there is too many people, the shrapnel can't penetrate. You want overpressure to exceed around 26kpa. So of more airblast type weapon - fuel air bomb of similar.

Well if we're going that way, a neutron bomb would be ideal.

Needs to be relatively tactical in nature though... we don't want to cause TOO much collateral damage.
