South Africa: far-left leader calls for genocide of White citizens again
tvpworld.com
Julius Malema conducted a massive rally in Soweto on Saturday, at which he sang ‘Kill the Boer, the farmer’.

Polish media has a superficial take, and we know "far left" is meaningless without context.

I'd appreciate if any comrades have suggestion, material or overview about the situation there.

    Julius Malema, stood before a huge crowd at a rally on Saturday, directly calling for the murder of the Boers

    Yeah right, if you watch the whole video of it he was not standing, he was jumping or dancing. And he was not alone whole stadium was singing it. And he claims it is not call to kill anyone, but is part of their history which still hurts.

    Funny thing is popularity of it started with Elon Musk complaining and not liking Julius Malema. Musk is from SA.

    Here is video showing it and explaining https://youtu.be/U6hksJ6T3GA and to get some context how racist those white people over there are https://youtu.be/-AGPiY6PnDw

    I know there is some Julis Malema press conference that last almost two hours and he explains it and answers questions, try to find it I can find it right now.

    That said, I can not give you context with some reliability, but can give you links to few yt channels I am following in my quest to get better picture of people in Africa you can find their thoughts:

      This is awesome stuff, thank you. African diaspora news sounds just like geopolitical economy report.

      Apparently Malema claims "revolutionary party", agrarian reform, anti imperialism, solidarity to Cuba in this speech https://youtu.be/O3HxvSkMMZc.

      He's ticking the right boxes so far, I'm starting to feel good for the black peoples of south africa.

      I would be concerned if that leans in favor of black peoples only, because that usually seeds fascism in white commoners. Right?

        I am glad you like it, I was trying for years to find any local info from Africa, mostly to get to know the culture there and it was non existent. Looks like big parts got access to internet in the last few years and started sharing, it is beautiful.

        I don't think they will just start viewing withe people, from whose hand they have suffered a lot during centuries and still do, as equals anytime soon.

        But I do think that the way toward it is for them to free themselves and looks like it is happening in whole sub Saharan Africa.
