Black people regarded as subhumans, says Malema
BLACK people do not have human rights‚ because they are subhuman, EFF leader Julius Malema said yesterday.
“Your humanity has been taken away by an evil system of capitalism that produces racism,” he said during his speech in Ermelo in Mpumalanga on Human Rights Day.
“Blacks are not human. Blacks are subhuman. That’s why they can die in Life Esidimeni.”
He said human rights and land ownership were intertwined.
“There are no human rights in a shack,” Malema said.
He also called Australia racist after Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton singled out white South African farmers’ need to flee “horrific circumstances” for a “civilised country” and offered to fast-track visas for them.
Malema said if white farmers wanted to pack for Perth‚ they must go.
“They must leave the keys of the tractors‚ because we want to work the land,” he said.
“They must leave the keys of the houses‚ because we want to stay in those houses.” Malema said only racists had fled to Australia after former President Nelson Mandela was released from prison and democracy dawned.
“It is the racists again who are going back to Australia,” he said.
“They will be poor in Australia. They are rich here‚ because they are exploiting black people.
“They will come back here with their tails between their legs. We will hire them‚ because we will be the owners of their farms.”
Malema said the enemy were those who had stolen land and did not want to return it.
“I’ve got no hatred for white people,” he said.
“I’ve got fundamental differences‚ the way they are handling their affairs is not right. They have to change. “Why will we kill white people? “Robert Sobukwe never wanted to kill white people, Steve Biko never wanted to kill white people and Albert Luthuli received a Nobel Peace Prize because he never wanted to kill white people.
“We are children of those people. We are not children of [DF] Malan.”
