Title: Julius Malema & John Steenhuisen Exchange Insults on Twitter Over “Kill the Boer” Song Controversy.
In a fiery Twitter exchange, Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen and Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema traded insults and criticism following the latter’s controversial singing of the “kill the boer” song during the EFF’s 10th anniversary celebrations at FNB stadium on Saturday, July 29th.
The contentious song has long been a source of tension and debates due to its divisive and inflammatory nature. Reacting to Malema’s performance, John Steenhuisen took to Twitter, expressing strong disapproval of the song and condemning its promotion of “mass murder, hatred, and violence.”
“We won’t allow Julius Malema to promote mass murder, hatred, and violence.” – wrote John Steenhuisen on Twitter.
In a swift response, Julius Malema fired back at Steenhuisen, challenging him to confront the situation head-on and intensifying the already strained relationship between the two political leaders.
“Bring it on small boy, we are not the African National Congress (ANC).” – wrote Julius Malema on Twitter.
The heated exchange on social media has further amplified the ongoing tensions between the EFF and the DA, sparking broader discussions about freedom of speech and the responsibility that comes with holding public office. Both leaders’ public statements have drawn attention to the need for measured language and responsible leadership in South African politics.
