Hours after Marxist Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) President Julius Malema sang the “Struggle Song,” or “Kill the Boer,” in a densely packed stadium,
a 79-year-old white farmer was murdered and his wife was severely injured
.
Before Malema’s inflammatory speech, five attacks on white farmers were reported in South Africa. Afriforum also documented a total of nine episodes and two murders as occurring in the aftermath of Malema’s rally.
Billionaire Elon Musk called the selective targeting of Afrikaners an open push for genocide. Musk criticized the efforts promoting “genocide of white people in South Africa” and questioned why President Cyril Ramaphosa remains silent.
They are openly pushing for genocide of white people in South Africa.

On July 30, following the EFF speech, 79-year-old farmer Theo Bekker was horrifically tormented and killed in the Grootvlei region of Mpumalanga province on a firm.
The assailants, between the ages of 16 and 19, attacked Bekker and his wife, Marlinda, while outside on their property. Bekker was severely beaten with a pipe before the assailant slit his throat.
The house was thoroughly vandalized. Perpetrators successfully fled with the couple’s Renault Kwid, an unknown amount of money, a .22 pistol, a 38 special revolver, and a shotgun.
The four fled in the Renault Kwid, only to overturn the vehicle and later be arrested by police.
A cross is placed for every White Farmer killed in South Africa between 2018-2022.
Looks like genocide to me.

The assailants will face charges of murder, assault with the intent to cause serious bodily harm, and robbery,
according to
South Africa Today
.
Afrikaner civil rights organization AfriForum has filed multiple lawsuits against former ANC Youth League leader Malema for singing the “struggle song” Kill the Boer, which the South African Equality Court has determined not to be “hate speech.”
AfriForum succeeded in court against the African Human Rights Commission in July, where the “traditional” ANC song was recognized as Hate Speech.
Kallie Kriel, the head of AfriForum, said they would appeal the Equality Courts’ verdict on September 4.
