Article: I meant no harm: Malema

ANC Youth League president Julius Malema meant no harm when he sang the struggle song with the words "shoot the boer", saying the word "boer" in liberation songs referred to the "system of white oppression", he said in court papers.

"Contrary to the sentiment expressed by some, which sentiment I believe is misplaced and unreasonable, I do not sing liberation songs with any intent to be hurtful... or propagate hatred," he said in a witness statement.
 
i hope he means that, if he does, then hats off to him. though hes probably just saying that coz hes in the pooh pooh

still not my fav person though... :erm:
 
As much as it pains me to say this and I can't stand the guy, I still try to put my feelings aside in most things and my judgement leads me to think he is being sincere and truthfull. I think he's young, hot headed and arrogant but I don't think he's intentionally trying to incite violence.

The media have also had a hand here, just recently they've been accused and proven guilty of blatantly putting words in his mouth.

Bleh who knows but personally I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Before this incident with the media I would've thought differently but not anymore.
 
I think that regardless of his intentions there is no place for such "liberation" songs within our society any more. They are the ruling party, and thus need not be liberated any more.
 
Imo you cannot utter those specific words without meaning it,especially in your own language, or at least -once- thinking of why your spewing such crap.

If he really didn't mean it, he's obviously telling us in this statement that he is extremely stupid (or rather his advisor/whoever edits this stuff ,is telling us that)

That sounds way too formal and grammatically correct for him to have written it.
 
If Malema did not mean it, why then did he continue singing it after even the ANC told him to stop.

I am under correction here but did Zuma not tell him to stop singing the song at the time of ET's murder?
Yet, on two different occasions after that, Malema sang the song.
 
Malema only stopped singing the song after the Delmas farmer put a price of one million rands on his head.

Since then, Malema is better guarded than fort knox and has more bodyguards than the president of the USA.

At last count, Malema had 14 bodyguards that the taxpayer pays for.
 
Only a million rand? It sucks, to take out Woody Woodpecker I want ALL his possessions, except the woodwork diploma!

I agree with you, and I seriously doubt that any violent actions have come about as a direct or even indirect consequence of him singing that song.

Still doesn't mean he should sing it.

Malema are a fully fledged racist in the worst degree. Just listen to any of his interviews with the newsmedia.


South Africa

In South Africa, Act No. 4 of 2000: Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act contains the following clause:
10. (1) Subject to the proviso in section 12, no person may publish, propagate, advocate or communicate words based on one or more of the prohibited grounds, against any person, that could reasonably be construed to demonstrate a clear intention to -
(a) be hurtful;
(b) be harmful or to incite harm;
(c) promote or propagate hatred.[23]
The crime of crimen injuria ("unlawfully, intentionally and seriously impairing the dignity of another")[24] may also be used to prosecute hate speech.[25

Yeah and the K word means non believer and nothing else right? Wrong! Technicalities are bs.

He can't even bother to stop singing it to appease us. He can't even bother to stop singing it when it is declared hate speech. Didn't bother him at all when farmers got murdered. Best friends with zanupf who supported farm invasions and murders, whole heartedly. His intention is obvious. His intention is to be as much of a sht stirrer as he can legally get away with, and unfortunately he can get away with stirring quite a lot of sht, because he is black AND affiliated with government. He doesn't take that responsibility with dignity. Having the freedom to be an Ahole doesn't mean you SHOULD be an Ahole. Not only that, he has crossed the line on multiple occassions. Time to publicly put him in his place and show everyone where the line.

Interesting twist to the saga.

What twist? Redefining a word to mean something that noone else agrees with? That's not a defense, he is singing the song to people who define the word in the proper meaning and context, and he knows it.

White oppression is over. They own the government. Singing this song only serves a divisive purpose, which is the intention, it gives the right wing ammo, increases tentions.. Also serves to justify apartheid as necessary because of people like him. Stupid fkn idea. The entire world is watching and taking notes.
