#AfriForum appears in the Magistrate's Court today for our hate speech case against Andile Mngxitama & BLF for their statements on "kill five whites". Adv. Mark Oppenheimer is representing us.

@ErnstRoets is also testifying today in this case about hate speech & #FarmMurders.
The court proceedings have begun. Firstly, the video of "kill five whites" by Mngxitama is played. His lawyer objected to the video being shown, but the magistrate ruled that the video should be played.
Ernst Roets (@ErnstRoets) has now started his testimony on hate speech and #FarmMurders.
"Why are farm attacks/murders a unique crime? They are unique in regards to their frequency, their levels of brutality, the role farmers play in our society, and the circumstances of living on a farm."

- @ErnstRoets
"The vast majority of murders in South Africa are social fabric crimes. Farm murders are by definition not social fabric crimes. Therefore you cannot compare the national murder rate to the farm murder rate."

- @ErnstRoets
Ernst Roets (@ErnstRoets) is now sharing some of the horrific stories of brutal assualt & torture documented in his book 'Kill the Boer'

#FarmAttacks #FarmMurders
"Often the animals or livestock of farmers are also killed or maimed. We've seen cases of tendons of cattle being severed, as well as dogs being brutally killed."

- @ErnstRoets
Ernst Roets (@ErnstRoets) is now analysing the BLF slogan "Land or Death" - explaining why it is a clear case of hate speech.

Vandag hou ons ’n optog om teen die Bela-wet protes aan te teken. Ons stap vir ons kinders.

#StopBela
#LosOnsKindersUit Image
Die optog het begin by die Voortrekkermonument en geëindig by Freedom Park waar ons die regering sal ontmoet om ’n memorandum aan hulle te oorhandig.
Bela is ’n verbreking van die 1994-ooreenkoms. Ons wil die regering dus ontmoet by die plek wat die regering gebou het om die oorgang na ’n demokratiese bestel in 1994 te simboliseer.
