I don't have a problem with AfriForum. I just really would like it if the causes they fight for were less petty and a lot more pertinent to the plight of Afrikaners.

They fight where things fall flat. Lots of people like to slate them as racist, yet they're not.

Consider this one, who will fight if they didn't?

Somehow I just think the millions spent on this legal action could maybe have been better spent. I don't like the song, but what does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? Legal action is hella expensive. You gotta pick the lines you draw in the sand carefully when line-drawing costs millions.

If I have to choose between this money going to the poor, fixing SA or to some rich advocate, lawyer and their team, I am all for the money ending up in the pockets of the latter.

I’m happy you took my advice and fired your incompetent first lawyer. I’m going defeat you again boys. Bafana ba makgowa, afriforum.

As snarky as Malema may be, he's right about one part though I don't believe that Opperheimer is dimissed, but he'll most certainly not make the arguments. They've got Jeremy Gauntlett now, a bulldog lawyer who made Zuma's #PayBackTheMoney more palatable. He can't come cheap though, but he's the right lawyer to take on such a case. Malema and co. won't be able to bite back at him, Gauntlett knows their business.

Just think of the money that could have gone to help SA if ANC did their jobs (and stop racist asshats like EFF).

But here we are, trying to stop racists doing their thing.

Do you for a moment think that there not some people out there that take it seriously?

We can only hope.
