JOHANNESBURG - The Freedom Front Plus has welcomed Monday’s decision by the Equality Court declaring the Black First Land First slogan “land or death” hate speech.“The BLF is not interested in rule and order and in maintaining a constitutional democracy. We also welcome the fact that it was ruled hate speech because that proves what the FF Plus is saying, that BLF’s constitution is conducive for hate speech and racism, and this is proof thereof,” Wessels said.
The matter was referred to the courts by the South African Human Rights Commission after it received a complaint. Last week the Electoral Court ruled that the Electoral Commission of South Africa was wrong to deny the FF Plus an opportunity to challenge the BLF's registration as a political party.
