"A revolution demands that at some point there must be killing because the killing is part of a revolutionary act."reported that the statements were made about the Brackenfell High School incident, where video footage showed a white person beating up an EFF member.
The SAHRC said there were also complaints made about banners and posters with the EFF logo, which read, “the honeymoon is over for white people in South Africa” and “A revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate".SAHRC acting spokesperson Wisani Baloyi said the posters constituted hate speech and violence and has given the party 10 days to issue an apology.
EFF national spokesperson Sinawo Thambo said the Human Rights Commission missed the point of Malema's statements. Thambo attempted to rationalise the Red Berets leader's call for violence, saying Mamala meant that the Brackenfell people who beat up peaceful EFF protestors should be met with violence as it is the only response violence deserves.Some citizens are happy the SAHRC is challenging Malema, while others think the court won't do anything about his comments.
