Julius Malema, the head of the EFF, responded to the DA and the Freedom Front Plus by stating that he would continue to sing “Kill the Boer” if he so desired.
Malema spoke on Wednesday from the EFF’s headquarters in Johannesburg during a press conference.
After defeating the lobby group AfriForum in court, the Equality Court decided that the song was protected by the First Amendment, permitted in the controversial political climate, and was neither hate speech nor incitement. Malema emphasised to journalists that the court’s rulings must be respected.

Malema criticised DA Federal Leader Helen Zille for criticising the red-beret leader for performing the song, claiming that she had the “botox-wrinkled face of a devil”
Malema claimed Zille wished to impose orders on the public when people had to respect the courts.
“I won in court. The court said there is nothing wrong with singing ‘Kiss/Kill the Boer’,” he said, imploring people to go and read the court judgment.
“When the courts favour Helen Zille, we must respect the court decision, but suddenly we don’t understand that when the EFF wins in court.
“Those who have appealed must go and fight it in court, the courts of South Africa have made a declaration and it’s closed, this is just sponsored outrage from Zille,” he said.
Malema stated. He further questioned the seriousness of Zille and FF+ leader Pieter Groenewald regarding the ‘Kill the Boer’ song, as they did not join AfriForum in the court case against EFF. Additionally, Malema criticized DA leader John Steenhuisen, claiming he lacked credibility.
“No wrinkled bottom face, maGogo shall make me explain myself, it is not my song, it is a Struggle song and I will sing it when I like,” said Malema.
Meanwhile, a group of unknown white men were blocked from entering the EFF’s headquarters on Wednesday. They were forced away, and some were seen being pushed and slapped away as the groups came to a head.
Malema has also sounded a warning to Steenhuisen and the DA, saying the EFF would not entertain the DA marching to its headquarters.
“Come and try it here. As long as you are wearing a DA T-shirt on that day, you will know what the EFF is. We will teach them.
