Do you have link to the tweet?

Malema definitely said "“Where we meet the enemy, we must crush the enemy. On Facebook, Twitter, all over social media, there to guard the revolution. When the enemy raises its ugly head, don’t heed the cut, cut the head." but that was in reference to "against those who speak what he calls nonsense against the party."

He needs to be condemned for this in any case/

Malema: ‘When the enemy raises its ugly head, cut the head’

EFF leader Julius Malema told his supporters to occupy every street and every corner and not to leave the enemy to chance, including on social media.

Is the wife a lesbian if the lover acts and dresses like a man but the wife acts and dress feminine?

I think this could be a case where the lover identifies as male and plays the male role. In that case #menaretrash

Cross in memory of slayed farmers torched as “message to farmers”​

A cross erected in memory of slayed farmers was torched in Brits on Monday following an altercation between protesting farm workers and members of a security company at a nearby farm.​


Nick Motloung, a journalist at Madibeng FM and the Madibeng Insider, set the cross on the R511 in Brits alight by throwing a burning tyre at it. “It is a message to farmers that enough is enough,” he told Kormorant.

This followed the protest by farm workers at Langplaas Farm on Monday morning which Motloung said he attended. Between 150 and 200 workers gathered at around 08:00, allegedly because of a loan dispute. PPS Security was present and owner, Quintin Dunn, alleged that farm workers tried to take a security officer’s firearm. Rubber bullets were fired. According to Dunn, this was done in self-defense. Six people were wounded. Police spokesperson Col Amanda Funani confirmed that six cases of attempted murder were opened following the incident.

Shortly after the protest, Motloung torched the cross located elsewhere in the Brits area. An unidentified woman filmed him and the video circulated on social media. “Farmers must get the message. I was there when the cross was erected and I support the farmers, but some farmers are two-faced and must stop treating their workers badly and shooting them,” he told Kormorant.

In an interview with Kormorant, Motloung accused the owner of Langplaas of being racist and ordering the security forces to shoot. Asked why he torched the cross, which had nothing to do with the protest, he said that “it was just a message”. “I have nothing against farmers, but they must respect their workers.”

Motloung did something incredibly stupid and disrespectful. He won't be liked by the white community of Brits, and have just wrecked a lot of progress made.

EDIT: Added video

 
I see the EFF is already politicising what have happened in Brits, and that they are at the forefront of confronting the racist which is the owner of PPS. Calling for the time of racists and racism in South Africa to come to an end, but then a journalist goes and necklace, which has historical context, a white cross which is dedicated to all who is killed on farms and rural smallholdings making it clear that he is sending a message to white South Africans that enough is enough.

If the protesters did indeed try to take a firearm of a security guard, well... I guess without video evidence it is the story of the majority to believe.

This doesn't bode well for 'farm murders' in general.

I am also curious to note that it wasn't over a wage dispute, but over a loan dispute.

What's the loan dispute all about?

I don't know, and I don't want to make assumptions and speculate on possibilities.

“The salaries for September were concluded on 2 October and the workers were paid for the two days in October as well. The end of October salaries excluded the two days’ salaries paid the previous month,”

My bad, I didn't quote that part as I were more intrigued by the video, and hence didn't read the article in it's entirty, to quote the paragraph,

Langplaas owner, Gert van Rensburg, confirmed that farm workers staged a protest on Monday. He explained that it followed after a misunderstanding about a new salary payment system. “The salaries for September were concluded on 2 October and the workers were paid for the two days in October as well. The end of October salaries excluded the two days’ salaries paid the previous month,” Gert van Rensburg Junior said to Kormorant. “On Monday morning when farm workers turned threatening and started pelting stones at staff members, we called in security. An altercation between the workers and security officers followed whereby one worker attempted to take firearms from a security officer,” he said.

Basically for the new payment system to take effect they were paid in advance. It isn't a loan then... it still a wage dispute, though a misunderstood wage dispute.
