The song Kill The Boer ("they are rapists") has been declared hate speech, on various grounds, in a judgement made by Judge Colin Lamont on September 12th. The most important grounds were however never mentioned in his 18 000 word finding...
There's a superficiality about Black and White reconciliation in South Africa. I know why. We simply can not rely on TV ads (banks and alcohol) anymore to demonstrate a union that is today threatened like never before. We'll need more truth. Yes, Apartheid governments must be avoided and no attempt should ever be made to rescue Apartheid and reconciliation should be sought. But black folk need to know this one Afrikaner perspective on the Struggle too: the Apartheid "regime" was ALSO a government protecting a minority with legal claims of ownership that CANNOT BE TRIVIALISED, from a vast majority set on high treason and armed terrorism. Please try the latter in any other country, and you'll end up with plenty Steve Biko’s and Mandela's, collateral damage and innocent bystanders. We do not come from a history where birthright and majorities were enough to make outrageous claims of propriety today.Just imagine finding reparations for every descendant of a slave in our history and reshuffling the planet so countries only house first nations or those defeated in war! The banned song Kill The Boer (they are rapists) is off course also a vile lie, one of many such lies underlying the universal propaganda that brought us here, in a country nose-diving through international indexes, a gluttonous government and an unemployment rate shamed only by our murder rate.
But are the lyrics of South Africa's most famous song Kill The Boer ("they are rapists") factual? Fortunately not. In 2005 not a single rapist of an embarrassing 36 620 black victims, was Caucasian. Don't bore yourself to death finding such a statistic in our history as nobody bothered to keep figures this insignificant. Malema will have to find the "rapists" in his songs elsewhere.
Call overheard when I confused the Onion Buildings with the Union Buildings, after judge Colin Lamont found Julius Malema's singing “Kill the Boers they are rapists” an act of hatespeech:
PRESIDENT: Auw, deed you hear what judge Coleen Lamont just deed. He found my successor geelty of hate speech. And I taught that boy to toi-toi, Mogoen!
CHIEF JUSTICE: White raceest pig. He just killed our entaya heestary, umkhulu.
PRESIDENT: Where deed he lêrn to speak isiZulu like that. How is your Afrikaans, Mogoen? Cos, me, I missed his translêtions
CHIEF JUSTICE: Very good, my preseedent. Coleen merely translated what the song seengs, the Afrikaners dey are rapeests.
PRESIDENT: That’s a fêct like a slaughtered cow, Mogoen. I feel like singing.
CHIEF JUSTICE: Well, sêr....
PRESIDENT: What, Mogoen ?
CHIEF JUSTICE: Yes, sêr, it’s kind of a fact, sêr. As you very well know, rêpeeng ees so very fraught weeth complexatees.
PRESIDENT: Very, my brada, very. Just find the White On Black rêpeeng stateesteecs and leak them to the press, my brother. That will shut up those Boere one time, wena.
CHIEF JUSTICE: Yes, sêr.
PRESIDENT: I don’t like your tone, Mogoen. Whaaat?
CHIEF JUSTICE: As I’m pretty new in these office, sêr, you could please tell for me where Dikgang hid those damn stats, sêr. And thank you for the flowas, my chief.
PRESIDENT: Fuck the flowers, Mogoen. You must get those damn stateesteecs out there.
CHIEF JUSTICE: Ah, got them. Ees under Bureau Of Justice Statistics.
PRESIDENT: Yes. That's it.
CHIEF JUSTICE: Criminal Victimisation Statistical Tables of 2005.
PRESIDENT: Fucking A, brada. Read it to me, Mogoen, my man. Slowly.
CHIEF JUSTICE: Blacks committed 100% of the 36 620 rêpes on blacks in 2005, sêr.
PRESIDENT: Eeeesh, not dat one, Mogoen. Go on.
CHIEF JUSTICE: Phephisa! Not a seengle black man or women were rêped by Caucasians in 2005, igosi.
PRESIDENT: That will teach those white, motherf....what?
CHIEF JUSTICE: Eisj. Natieng, sêr. Those white raceests, they don’t want to rêp us, mista president.
PRESIDENT: WTF! Pick anada yêr!
CHIEF JUSTICE: Which yêr, sêr?
PRESIDENT: Any freaking yêr but thees one!
CHIEF JUSTICE: Eisj, my brother, let’s rather talk about God and retirement. Or Julias.
PRESIDENT: Julias. Yebo. What now?
CHIEF JUSTICE: That’s why you and God picked me, comrade, to be Chief jadsh. We appeal Coleen’s evil jadshment, I pick a hatespeech-friendly jadsh and we overtêrn thees Eurocentric seeliness. We really need to sing that song about white rêpeests! Ees so libarating.
PRESIDENT: Thank, you Mogoen. You know our Julius she has all the makeengs of a South Afrikan president, but just not enough lawsuits against him yet, nè? But we are wêrking on that.
CHIEF JUSTICE: He must get a wife and cheeldren, my president.
PRESIDENT: Yebo, we are workeeng on that too. It’s not going to so well. Get that yêr and leak it to the press. Jahela! Hamba kahle, comrade.
CHIEF JUSTICE: Ôkêêê.
