Musk on Monday expressed outrage over a South African black party "openly pushing for genocide of white people" during a giant rally at a sports stadium over the weekend in Johannesburg."They are openly pushing for genocide of white people in South Africa," Musk said. [South African President Cyril Ramaphosa], why do you say nothing?"
Musk, who was born in South Africa, also highlighted the case of a white farmer being murdered in his home country.
From IOL.co.za, "Uproar over EFF leader Julius Malema singing 'Kill the Boer'. This is what the courts said about the song":
EFF leader Julius Malema has been sharply criticised by prominent white South Africans for singing the Struggle song, "Shoot to kill, kill the Boer, kill the farmer".In 2016, Malema said he wasn't "calling for the slaughtering of white people," then added, "at least for now."
The Equality Court in Johannesburg ruled in August last year that the song was not hate speech or incitement, after AfriForum took the matter to court.
The court held that the song was freedom of speech and had to be left in the political arena.
The court said the lyrics of the song - "Shoot to kill, kill the Boer, kill the farmer" - were not to be taken literally.
This weekend, the EFF leader Malema and nearly 100,000 supporters, who painted the FNB Stadium in a sea of red, were seen and heard singing the song after Malema concluded his speech at the party's 10th-anniversary celebrations.
