In an interview on Daily Thetha on Wednesday morning, Malema said the government must suspend certain rights of criminals.

“Criminals don’t have ears, they only have a skin, and they hear through the skin, so you can’t have a government that has a conversation with criminals. Any criminal who takes up a gun against law enforcement must be dropped down. We must never negotiate with thugs,” said Malema.“How do you wake up in the morning and seven people are killed in KwaMashu, and yet we are not in a war.

The Equality Court last August ruled that the singing of “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer” by EFF supporters in Senekal in October 2020 was not hate speech. “Since my active political participation, in the national discourse, I’ve had so many accusations against me, that he said this, he insulted this one and all of that, all of which has never been proven in any court of law or any established institution that said this is what we will not accept as a speech in South Africa,” said Malema.

“The problem with the Freedom of Speech is that, it allows people to say things that are uncomfortable but the fact that you’re uncomfortable doesn’t make it a hate speech or it doesn’t make it a lie, it’s you being uncomfortable, is it true? Is it a fact? Is it consistent with the Constitution? If the answer is yes, deal with your uncomfortability. It has been our duty to make the comfortable, uncomfortable and the uncomfortable, comfortable.
