SAHRC finds Julius Malema's comments not hate speech | IOL NewsThe various comments made by EFF leader Julius Malema do not constitute hate speech, the SAHRC has found. I was spot on 😉 CapeTimesSA He is a hate speech, he is a racist, he is South Africa's Robert Mugabe. StopPlaasmoorde Ook maar goed haat is gebaseer op ‘n gevoel en nie IK nie. Leë blikke maak die meeste geraas sou die oumense sê. Malema se hele bestaan is gebaseer op die reaksie wat hy uitlok met sy gegorrel. Geen reaksie geen malema.
