While South Africa has taken to accusing Israel of genocide, 1 in 10 of its voters backed genocide at home.

Popular support for the ANC during the May 29 vote came in at 40%, with the Democratic Alliance (DA) at 21.8%, and the Marxist Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) clinching 9.5%, according to the country’s electoral commission with 99.9% of the votes counted. The six-months-old uMkhonto weSizwe party of the country’s former president Jacob Zuma, established in December, clinched 14.6% of votes.

The ANC is already Communist. Calling EFF “Marxist” is an understatement. It’s most notable for the “Kill the Boer” song and the racist rants of its leader: Julius Malema.

AfriForum’s complaint regards the chanting of slogans such as “Kill the Boer, kill the farmer”, “shoot to kill” and “kill a man” by Malema and members of the EFF at political rallies. On 17 February 2022, day 8 of the trial, AfriForum’s advocate, Mark Oppenheimer, asked Malema whether he would be prepared to pledge that he would never call for the slaughtering of white people. Malema outright refused to do so and testified that he might call for the slaughtering of whites in the future. The question by Oppenheimer comes after Malema said at a rally in 2016 that he is “not calling for the slaughtering of whites, at least for now”.

And while this is almost an afterthought, Zuma is also his own kind of monster.

So when is the world going to intervene in South Africa?
