The South African Human Rights Commission has found that Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema's speech and some of the posters/banners displayed at the party’s Provincial People’s Assembly in the Western Cape last month “collectively, constitute incitement of violence, hate speech and possibly other transgressions of the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act, 4 of 2000.

”Malema reportedly told EFF members that they must "not be afraid to kill" and "killing is a revolutionary act".

Accordingly, the Commission has given Malema and the EFF until 18 November to retract and apologise for his statements.

The EFF has since rejected the findings and argued that the party and Malema were never invited to make representations for themselves.
