<p style="font-weight: 400;">Asked why his country would not arrest blacks who chant “Kill the Boer! Kill the farmer!” South African President Cyril Ramaphosa answered that his country did not need to “be instructed by anyone” to take that step, asserting that the country’s constitution protected freedom of expression.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Last week, President Donald Trump confronted Ramaphosa at the White House about the threat to whites in his country.  When Ramaphosa claimed blacks in South Africa were also killed by criminals in the country, Trump responded, “The farmers are not black. And the people that are being killed in large numbers, and you saw all those grave sites, and those are people that loved ones are going &#8230; on a Sunday morning, they told me to pay their respects to their loved ones that were killed &#8230; their heads chopped off. They died violently.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In late March, Julius Malema, the founder and leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, a communist political party, led a rally at which the crowd chanted “Kill the Boer! Kill the farmer!” Malema has also led chants to “cut the throat of whiteness.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“In 2023, a little under 300 white-owned farms were attacked across South Africa, with 49 people killed in those attacks, according to <a href="https://www.artikels.afriforum.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Farm-attacks-and-murders-in-South-Africa-2023.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">figures from AfriForum,</a>” NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/south-africa-racist-white-farmers-trump-musk-genocide-ramaphosa-rcna190749" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2010, a South African court <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-14878102" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled</a> that the song “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer,” which Malema was using, did constitute hate speech. But in 2022, Judge Edwin Molahlehi <a href="https://groundup.org.za/article/judge-rules-kill-boer---kill-farmer-not-hate-speech/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reversed</a> the ruling, saying, “It does not constitute hate speech and deserves to be protected under the rubric of freedom of speech &#8211; it articulates the failure of the current government to address issues of economic empowerment and land division.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Saturday, Malema defiantly <a href="https://www.channelstv.com/2025/05/25/south-africas-malema-vows-to-keep-chanting-controversial-song/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “The struggle heroes composed this song. All I am doing is to defend the legacy of our struggle. Therefore I will never stop singing” the song. &#8220;That will be a betrayal to the struggle of our people.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“When it comes to the issues of arresting anyone &#8230; it’s a sovereign issue,” Ramaphosa stated. “It’s not a matter where we need to be instructed by anyone that ‘Go and arrest this one.’ We are a very proud, sovereign country that has its own laws, that has its own processes, and we take into account what the constitutional court also decided when it said that that slogan, ‘Kill the Boer. Kill the farmer,’ is a liberation chant and slogan. And it’s not meant to be a message that elicits or calls upon anyone to go and be killed. That is what our court decided. So they will probably want to arrest people willy-nilly, [but] we follow the dictates of our constitution because we are a constitutional state and we are a country where freedom of expression is in the bedrock of our constitutional arrangement.&#8221;</p>
