Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Devon Hofmeyer, identified as the white man who led other racist white boys to EFF HQ to confront the leadership.
There was a physical altercation between some senior officials of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and a group of armed white men outside the party’s headquarters in Johannesburg.
The group arrived at the offices earlier on Wednesday to raise their concern over EFF President Julius Malema chanting the controversial Dubul’ ibhunu song.
Malema alongside his supporters sang ‘Kill the boer, kill the farmer’ at the EFF’s 10th anniversary celebration at the FNB stadium this past weekend.
The song has long been contested, with lobby group AfriForum having approached the Equality Court in 2020 to lodge a complaint against Malema and to have the song’s lyrics declared hate speech and unfair discrimination, but the Equality Court disagreed.
The Afrikaans-speaking men, who were dressed in camouflage, were refused entry by EFF secretary-general Marshall Dlamini and MP Vuyani Pambo Dlamini.
The EFF leaders demanded to know why the men wanted to join the briefing and whether they were journalists.
They were chased away from the area while Dlamini was seen beating some of them when they refused to leave.
