#AfriForum is vandag in die Landdroshof oor ons haatspraak saak teen Andile Mngxitama en BLF vir hul uitsprake oor “doodmaak van vyf wittes”. Adv. Mark Oppenheimer verteenwoordig ons.

@ErnstRoets getuig ook vandag in dié saak oor haatspraak en plaasmoorde.
Die hofverrigtinge het begin. Die toespraak van “kill five whites” deur Mngxitama word nou gespeel. Sy prokureur het beswaar gemaak teen die vertoning van die video, maar die landdros het beslis dat die video wel gespeel moet word.
Ernst Roets (@ErnstRoets) begin nou met sy getuienis oor haatspraak en plaasmoorde.
