Malema fires back at critics: ‘kill me now!’

Julius Malema has defiantly stood his ground after a video of him singing Kill the Boer surfaced during a high-level meeting between Presidents Cyril Ramaphosa and Donald Trump at the White House.

Despite facing accusations of inciting “white genocide” through his fiery and controversial remarks, the EFF leader has shown no sign of backing down.

MALEMA POSTS MESSAGE TO CRITICS

On his X account, Julius Malema slammed calls for his arrest, specifically by US President Donald Trump and the world’s richest man, Pretoria-born businessman Elon Musk.

He posted: “You will never put a good man down.  I will never be defined by my enemies but by my loyalty to the cries of our people. You will never kill the idea whose time has come.”

He added: “Kill me now, cowards.”

Malema’s post comes a few hours after he reacted to Trump’s call for him to be arrested. 

ChatGPT said:

During the meeting, Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen and billionaire Johann Rupert joined other members of the South African delegation in criticising the EFF leader.

He posted of the Oval Office meeting: “A group of older men meet in Washington to gossip about me. No significant amount of intelligence evidence has been produced about white genocide. 

“We will not agree to compromise our political principles on land expropriation without compensation for political expediency.

DONALD TRUMP: ‘WHY HASN’T HE BEEN ARRESTED?’

During the tense meeting, White House aides rolled out a TV which played a clip of Malema singing Kill The Boer and calling for land to be expropriated. The clip also contained imagery of Afrikaner memorial sites, which President Trump mistakenly referred to as “burial sites”.

Referring to the EFF leader, Trump asked Ramaphosa: “Why don’t you arrest that man?

“That man said, ‘kill the white farmer’ and danced. I think if someone got up and started singing to kill a certain group of people, he would be arrested quickly.”
