CNN: South African Political Leaders Calling for Killing of White Afrikaners Would ‘Potentially Appear To Be More Literal’ for People Lacking ‘Historical Context’
‘It is an inflammatory song, without a doubt’
EXCERPT:
MADOWO: “It is an inflammatory song, without a doubt. And many in South Africa, even black South Africans, don’t think it should be sung in a post-apartheid world, 30 years-plus after apartheid. But there are many who grew up under those years of white minority rule who understand the historical context of the song, ‘Kill the Boer, kill the farmer,’ that Julius Malema has made popular again. It sort of fell into disuse. It’s not been that commonly sung after the end of apartheid in 1994. But he’s brought it back again to reanimate the issue of the majority of land in South Africa still being owned by white farmers.”
