BLF ordered to apologise to South Africans as 'Land or Death' slogan ruled hate speech | IOL News

Black First Land First leader Andile Mngxitama during a land expropriation debate in Parliament. Picture: Ayanda Ndamane/African News Agency ArchivesJohannesburg - The Equality Court on Monday ruled that the Black First Land First political party's "Land or Death" slogan amounted to hate speech.

The BLF has been campaigning for this year's elections on the land platform, calling white people "racist land thieves" and threatening to kill them if they refused to accept land expropriation. The clerk of the Equality Court has been directed to send a copy of the judgment to the DPP for the possible institution of criminal proceedings against the BLF and its leaders.

That judge is mad. Apologize to who? for what?

So 'Land or death' is hate speech, but die stem is not?Abanyi perhaps?

No need to apologise to me im not offended

I'm not offended so no need to apologize.

Apologize? for what? For who

apologies to who?

Good.

Why shud they They ddnt offend me and my family i ddnt ask for the apology HANDSOFFBLF

BLF didn’t offend me. What apology?!

BLF should Never Apologize for their slogan. Ever.

Please don't apologise to me... Ke right! Slogan seo se correct. Who wants an apology, vele?

Umsunu ka nyoko there's your apology LandOrDeath

Can you NAME these South Africans in order to ensure that the 'apology' is drafted & conveyed languages they will EACH understand?

Poor people dont need his apology .....All South Africans understand what 'Land or Death means. Simple-die from hunger or take land to plough good.

To be politically correct, they should apologize to WHITE South African, Us BLACK South African we still say LAND OR DEATH 😠😠

Hating who this is an idiom. Are our courts really this ignorant 😞. I don't need apology I am full south African

Ninyile nyi

We dont want an apology, but our land back

No need to apologise to me. I support your slogan! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥

BLF_SouthAfrica, You don’t have to apologize to me. I’m not part of those South Africans

We good .. we don't want it nor do we see a reason for one. All is good BLF

So it's only in this country were white settlers will take your land and when you speak out the white courts ordered you to apologise to those whom your speaking out to who stole your Land

Equality Court need not worry about any apology from BLF cos iMzansi ya mampela, true sons n daughters of this btfl n glorious land bagrand...we content with 'Land or Death'. Infact mabakhohlwe ngeapology

Is there a way to write to the court and tell it that we don't want or need an apology? We didn't take BLF to court.

BLF, dont apologise to me. It's the ones who are benefiting from the deaths of our people who must apologise to us.

So BLF must apologise for black people being killed over their own land by white people? When did white people apologise for the atrocities they committed against us......Voetsek!!!!! LandOrDeath

I want land not apology, do not apologise BLF_SouthAfrica we are good on behalf of South Africans

Stylesg10 Imagine apologizing to 1652

Guys which land? What are you going to do with land? I want money.

Blf is a product of EFF so what do you expect from them

Once people are allowed to go against court judgements, then it will lead to anarchy in a country. Nobody should be above the law. Deregister this useless irrelevant party

His personality is reflected on his face and it is repulsively ugly...

You need apology? Contact us so you can get your apology in hell.

Hee bann Andile to say 'I am sorry' 😊😊

We really dont want to hear your halfass apology anyway BLF_SouthAfrica

I really dont want to hear your halfass apology anyway.

BLF must never make the mistake of apologizing. Our ancestors died for that land. Today we continue to live in landless squalor equivalent to death...

I dmt wish this rubbish to go to parliament

We don't care about white feelings.

Ordered? We don't take orders from land thieves

Which South Africans lol you mean to whites the Europeans

TheMercurySA They want land or death . Maybe someone will oblige them . Somehow i dont think it will be land 😆

What I find interesting, and it happened Malema as well, and Oros, is that these leaders get very fat from the good life - just like Andile Mngxitama. At least Malema’s wife got him into shape again.

thats like asking NAZIS to apologise to Jewish people...aint gonna happen

TheStar_news I don't want an apology; I don't want the BLF_SouthAfrica degrading Parliament with its presence.

Your headline should read 'BLF ordered to apologize to white South Africans as LandOrDeath slogan ruled hate speech' HandsOffBLF

I don't care a f%ck if they apologize or not, they not getting my land..... Not even I own any 😅

Life is perspective. My perspective is ruling is hugely flawed. I would like to hear what the BLF explanation was for their slogan and what made it unacceptable to the court or was an assumption made on someone’s perspective of things they fear based on their background?

But ke courts are courts and eventually they will apologize

Orania is fine but people have a problem with BLF slogan? South Africa is joke. White privilege a alive and well in this country. Apartheid flag even flies regularly. MYANC you are cowards. Hopefully South Africans vote you out of power this time around.

Niyanya belungu

They don't have to apologize they did nothing wrong we are with them

Your own people killed your ancestors not just whites

AlastairMcA30 following a few of your tweets on freedom of speech, is this slogan within the bounds?

Sentletse Hayi suka. Hate speech kuphi? The fact that land was taken by killing our ancestors is what I want an apology for.

BLF ordered to remove 'Land or Death' sloganBLF has been ordered to remove their slogan its regalia, social media accounts and website within a month. Their slogan isn't all that needs to change. What also needs to change is their whole attitude. Same thing the night king offered the northerners We need more people with a mentality like the BLF. Militant African people! Lack of militant people is the reason why we were colonised in the first place. We're naturally righteous people but we shouldn't let that stop us from seeing who our enemy has been and still is.
