“We are not calling for the slaughtering of white people…for now…” Julius Malema
Sirshin Moodliar spoke to Maryke Vermaak from
Jacaranda FM, who was at the EFF rally in Newcastle where Julius Malema
addressed a crowd on his strong views on taking back the land from white
people.
After appearing in the Newcastle Magistrate Court on Monday, EFF leader Julius Malema made a passionate speech calling for black African’s to take back their land. He was appearing in court for a similar speech he made in June earlier this year, contravening the Riotous Assemblies Act.
"We will take our land no matter how. It's becoming unavoidable, it's becoming inevitable," said a defiant Malema. "They (white people) have been swimming in a pool of privilege; they have been enjoying themselves because they always owned our land. We the rightful owners, our peace was disturbed by the white man's arrival here."
Sirshin spoke to Maryke Vermaak, a journalist from sister radio station Jacaranda FM, who was present during Mr Malema’s speech. Sirshin then put the call out to you, here is what you had to say.
