AfriForum accuses EFF leadership of inciting violence
15 January 2018
The civil rights organisation AfriForum today laid criminal complaints of inciting violence and various other crimes against the EFF’s Julius Malema, Floyd Shivambu and Mbuyiseni Ndlozi.
These complaints stem from various statements made by them on public platforms which relate to the country-wide vandalisation of shops belonging to the H&M Concession.
Their actions came as reaction against an allegedly racist advertisement by H&M in which a black boy was wearing a sweatshirt on which was printed “Coolest monkey in the jungle”.
Ernst Roets, Deputy CEO of AfriForum, says that the leadership of the EFF – which includes Malema (Commander-in-Chief), Shivambu (Deputy President) and Ndlozi (Spokesperson) – accepted responsibility for the crimes committed at the H&M stores and that these crimes are actively incited on public platforms.
