The song “Kill the Boer” is a struggle song that was first sung by the African National Congress (ANC) during the apartheid era. The song has been criticized by some for its violent lyrics, but it has also been defended by others as a legitimate expression of political dissent.

The court judgment that Malema referred to was issued in 2011 by the South Gauteng High Court. The judgment found that the song was not hate speech, but that it could be interpreted as advocating violence. The court also ordered that the song should not be sung in a way that incites violence.

COURT FOUND THAT THE SONG WAS NOT HATE SPEECH

Musk’s tweet about the song has sparked a debate on social media, with some people supporting his comments and others criticizing him.

Some people have argued that Musk is right to criticize the song, saying that it is a dangerous and harmful message. Others have argued that Musk is being insensitive to the history of the song and that he is not familiar with the context in which it is sung.
