The leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, has accused the former presidents of South Africa of allowing the “white arrogance” that led to the burning of a police vehicle in front of the Senekal Magistrates Court in the Free State, where The suspected murder of farm manager Brendin Horner appeared last week.
The suspects will reappear on Friday and the EFF will be there to ensure that no state property is damaged again, Malema told Newzroom Afrika host Xoli Mngambi during an interview Thursday.
“We are not going to Senekal to sympathize with a thug. We are going there to protect our democracy and Constitution, which are threatened by racist farmers and terrorists who go and attack a court of law, rob a court of law and persecute the police. That is a statement from those who are against the state, ”he said.
Responding to a warning from former President Kgalema Motlanthe about a possible civil war if the EFF goes to Senekal, Malema said: “So be it,” and further blamed President Cyril Ramaphosa for the “white arrogance.”
Said, “We’re in this mess for people like him [Motlanthe]. We let the whites undermine us like this, do you think we could listen to people like him? Do you think we could hear [Thabo] Mbeki, [Jacob] Zuma, [Nelson] Mandela? We will never allow that. This nonsense must come to an end at some point.
“These whites must know that we are not stepchildren in this country. This is our country, we also belong here. If going to Senekal will cause a civil war, and if a man exercises his constitutional right, that will lead to a civil war, so be it. I do not speak here from the comfort of my sofa, I myself will be in Senekal. I’ll be leading from the front, do what you want to do.
“Why should we be afraid of retired soldiers when we weren’t afraid of them when they were soldiers, when they legitimately carried weapons to kill blacks? We face them with stones, we let history repeat itself. We’re not going to live in fear here because we think white farmers are ex-generals, they can go to hell, killer generals! “
Malema met with Police Minister Bheki Cele this week and, according to the EFF leader, things did not go quite well for the minister. The EFF leader said he told Cele that he, too, had allowed white arrogance because Ramaphosa allowed it.
“I told Bheki Cele that you are afraid of whites. There is too much white arrogance here, he has allowed it … I told the minister, your president, who is adopted by a white family, he has allowed these people to develop this arrogance and we are not going to allow him or you through his actions to make whites arrogant and want to subject blacks to humiliation, because once you humiliate the police, you are humiliating a black state and indirectly, you are humiliating blacks.

Malema further declined to participate in a conversation about farm killings, saying there is no such thing in the law as farm killing.
“We send a message of condolences to all murder victims in South Africa, including the farm manager. There is nothing in our law called agricultural murder. Murder is murder, it is criminality and must be treated as such ”.
