One of the most prominent judgments passed by the court last year was on the question of whether displaying the old South African flag constituted hate speech.

The equality court last year also found itself dealing with the question in two cases on whether utterances made by EFF leader Julius Malema amounted to hate speech.

Malema told his supporters: “Where we meet the enemy, we must crush the enemy. On Facebook, Twitter, social media, be there, guard the revolution. When the enemy raises its ugly head, don’t hit the head, cut off the head.” “In my view, the complainants have failed to establish that being a journalist qualifies for the protection under sections 10 and 11 of the Equality Act directly or as an 'analogous' ground,” judge Daisy Molefe said in her judgment passed on October 24. Sanef indicated it would not appeal the judgment.

“Our attack on Pravin Gordhan is an attack on white monopoly capital because Pravin is a dog of white monopoly capital. We must hit the dog until the owner comes out, and once the owner comes out, we must deal decisively with the owner.”
