AfriForum has given notice of its intention to oppose ANC Youth League president Julius Malema's Constitutional Court appeal against a guilty hate speech verdict, the civil rights initiative said on Sunday.
Malema and the African National Congress are asking the Constitutional Court to make an urgent decision on the status of the hate song “Kill the boer”.
He was found guilty of hate speech last month in the Equality Court, sitting at the High Court in Johannesburg.
AfriForum said it opposed Malema's application on the grounds that it was understood that ANC supporters apparently planned to sing the song during the party's 100-year anniversary festivities in January.
Last week, ANCYL member Tokelo Nhlapo sang the song on the campus of the University of the Witwatersrand.
Willie Spies, AfriForum's legal representative, said the ANC's decision to justify and protect hate songs from the struggle era had created a culture of hatred which had to be stopped. - Sapa

AfriForum Willie Spies should be saying apartheid created a culture of hatred and correct that by reconciling his people with other communities, instead of being biased against Mr Malema who is fighting for the truth.

If AfriForum is so worried about creating a culture of hate then they should be campaigning to have the FB page "Boere Krisis Aksie" closed down otherwise they have double standards. What's written on that page is a whole lot worse than the song.
