Experts differ on how serious his inflammatory words were, and on whether they will lead to acts of violence

“We will go to their homes and fight them in their own houses with their own families.”

These words, like ricocheting rubber bullets fired at protesters, have bounced back to EFF leader Julius Malema in the form of a criminal complaint about intimidation...If you have already registered or subscribed, please sign in to continue.

The problem is how police treat black vs how they treat white

We should not have to carefully analyze every leaders words to decide whether or not they incite violence. Leaders and elected law makers have a responsibility to choose their words carefully, with due consideration to how people may perceive them. We have been saying the same /2

Well put a white person In that stiuation n see the reactions. Just saying

FFS

Bheki Cele and Popcru must deal with the real stuff instead of grandstanding.The issue here is the inability of the SAPS to treat White protesters with the same glove as they would to their Black counterparts. Enough is enough!

Dangerous no matter what

The Nazism of the EFF has infiltrated all sectors. It will play out like 2nd world war Germany and only then will EFF Nazism come to an end.

When whites protests no firing of rubber bullets and teargas or water canon, so leave CIC

I wonder if those words came out of anyone else's mouth would it be taken in the same light. Think this man has done enough damage to this country. Time to take him out of circulation and let him rot in a prison cell. CyrilRamaphosa SAPoliceService

Malema is a chubby poes

Voetsek bloody full

Captured journalists with stinking propaganda..We don’t take you serious anymore

Yes the journalists will debate over the severity of his words in their columns and articles until we wake up one day to Field marshal Julius his excellency president for life Malema.

Cabal bloody agent

We in politics so far enocent approach nothing has taken place to our minds until this State lessining black people who suffered becouse of brutal state,who allowing Afrikaners recial legacy in our lifetime, if Black's are enjoying to be onereble and selling our blood, nonsense.

To hell with your ThumaMina experts 😏😏😏😏

Experts they men white people who don't know what it is like to be shot by police in SA unarmed.

The very same thing that is happening in America about the Brutality of Police towards Black People is happening in SA. South African Police are Brutal towards Black People, Nobody seems to be seeing this Except Malema. Where are other Political Party, are they not Seeing This?

So reassuring that the Unisa lecturer feels Malema's followers are thoughtful, considered people, not given to spontaneous outbursts of violence. He obviously doesn't live in South Africa. Oh, hold on...

Master of illusion it’s so he can say in courts next year the police are being attacked from all angles. Whatever Malema does look for the hidden agenda.

Uqhuywe upayi lo Malema..

Please give us the statement

Political metaphor What has our justice system come to? I want the experts to hear what I understood about what he said. Zuma and Ace with their disrespect for the law and now JuJu with his threats.

May you please read the EFF statement regarding our CIC's comments about police, stop pushing your stupid narrative to please your funders by taking his words out of context, No amount of fake news shall deter us, we not a product of stratcom media ✊✊✊
