Debate Heats Up: Julius Malema and Elon Musk Face Off

The feud between Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema and South African-born billionaire Elon Musk began in July 2023, when Malema chanted the struggle song “Kill the Boer” during the EFF’s 10th-anniversary celebration. Musk criticized Malema on social media, accusing him of promoting the genocide of white people in South Africa. In response, Malema dismissed Musk’s comments, suggesting he educate himself about the historical context of the song and calling him “illiterate.”

The song “Kill the Boer” has been a subject of legal scrutiny in South Africa. In 2022, the High Court ruled that the song’s lyrics did not contravene the Equality Act, stating that AfriForum failed to show a clear intention to harm or incite violence. Despite this ruling, the song remains controversial, with critics arguing that it incites violence against white farmers, while supporters view it as a significant part of the country’s liberation history.

The public exchange between Malema and Musk has highlighted differing perspectives on South Africa’s complex history and the interpretation of its liberation songs.Recently American billionaire Elon Musk posted that Eff president Malema is an international criminal who must be sanctioned.This statement has sparked a debate on social media see some comments below:

“Whites are in no position to lecture or even advice us on Land Expropriation Act.

They are proven savages who have killed the indigenous people of the land!!”
