The Malema hate speech trial on Thursday heard that Afrikaans people living on farms feel the ’Dubula Ibhunu’ songs are directed at them. There were also discussions about the real meaning of the word ’boer’.
AfriForum is asking the Equality Court to stop ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema from singing the songs.
Speaking through a translator the Federasie van Afrikaanse Kultuurvereniginge (FAK) Professor Danie Goosen said Afrikaners felt threatened by the songs.
“It is seen as a threat to their physical position and it is seen as a threat to their symbolic connection with South Africa,” he said.
However, Malema’s advocate Vuyani Ngalwana asked legal professor Anton Kock about a survey into attitudes relating to the song.
“Are you able to point his lordship to a part which links the farm killings to the singing of a song?” asked Ngalwana.
Judge Colin Lamont interjected and said this had never been AfriForum’s case.
Earlier, the court heard translations from Zulu to English.
Ngalwana asked Transvaal Agriculture Union (TAU) security expert General Chris van Zyl to read through a translation of the song.
He then asked, “In those words that you’ve just read General, is there anything about kill the boer?”
The judge then intervened before Van Zyl gave his answer.
“My interpretation from a military background is if you shoot, unless you’re on the shooting range, you shoot to kill,” said Lamont.
Malema is expected to take the stand when the case resumes.

The Afrikaans people didn’t learn anything from Zimbabwe? Kick the white man out and your economy will go to hell in a hand basket. In just a very few years you’ll be jump around like a fart in a hot frying pan trying to feed yourselves.
How about shooting him? That would probably work.
That’s a rational solution. Something unheard of in Africa nowadays.
