South African President Cyril Ramaphosa defended the “Kill the Boer” slogan as a “liberation chant” Tuesday, refusing U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand to arrest opposition figure Julius Malema for using it.
Last Wednesday, during a meeting in the Oval Office, Trump accused South Africa of “genocide” and showed a video of Malema and his Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party chanting “Kill the Boer,” “Kill the farmer,” “Shoot to kill,” and other violent slogans at large rallies. Trump said that Malema ought to be arrested for incitement. Malema responded by repeating the slogan, both online and in another rally Sunday.
Ramaphosa denied that there was a “genocide” taking place — though others, like South Africa’s Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein, later said the term “genocide” was appropriate, given the fact that over 650,000 people had been murdered since 1994.
“It is not a white genocide, it is not a black genocide, it is a human genocide,” Goldstein said, noting that Ramaphosa never condemned the “Kill the Boer” chant, even in the Oval Office.
South Africa’s judicial system has failed to enforce the law against Malema — even though South Africa’s constitution, which guarantees freedom of expression, specifically prohibits “advocacy of hatred that is based on race, ethnicity, gender or religion, and that constitutes incitement to cause harm.”
Reporters confronted Ramaphosa on Tuesday at a conference in Cape Town about Trump’s demand, and this was his response:

Oh, not, as woopsee goldsteen might say, “kill”” kill”. Just the idea of the Boer. I see. Liar!
You don’t need to splain me “Kill the Boer”.
“Kill the BOAR!”......it’s a BBQ Chant!...................
Liberation...
Isn’t SA now in hock to the ChiComs...?
Maybe the “Liberation Chant” is evil.
Just get all the Afrikaners out of that hellhole as soon as possible Mr. President.
I for one welcome them with open arms.
Enjoy your inevitable famine.
There goes any trade deal with SA.
These people are their own worst enemy, deserving of whatever comes.
Ramaphosa just gave himself away as being in the same camp as Malema: genocidal maniacs.
As we all should.
I believe so.
In as much as Ramaphosa isn’t prosecuting those calling for genocide - he’s actively endorsing it.
In the same league of depraved abominations as Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler.
🤣🐷🍖
Yeah and burning crosses in people’s yards were just liberty candles.
I’ve heard some say, that the whites of South Africa, are facing a similar situation which Jews faced in Nazi Germany.
I’m sure some would say nobody is in a gas chamber, and say the analogy is improper.
But a lot happened before the Holocaust, such as denial of citizenship rights, and expropriation of property of Jews in Nazi Germany. There certainly seem to be parallels here.
BTTT
What at this point do they need to be liberated from?
Having enough to eat?
