FF Plus lodges complaint of hate speech and incitement to violence against Andile Mngxitama
11 December 2018
Earlier today, the FF Plus lodged a complaint of hate speech and incitement to violence as well as incitement to commit an offence, namely murder, with the Potchefstroom Police against Andile Mnxitama, the leader of the Black First Land First (BLF) movement, after he urged supporters in Potchefstroom this past Saturday to kill white people.
During the launch of the movement's election campaign for the 2019 elections held at the Ikageng stadium, Mnxitama encouraged his supporters to kill white men, their wives and even their animals.
Similar complaints have also been lodged with the Human Rights Commission (HRC) as well as the Equality Court against both Mnxitama and the BLF seeing as the party has not distanced itself from its leader's statements.
Furthermore, the FF Plus will request that the BLF be de-registered as a political party in terms of the Electoral Act which prohibits unacceptable behaviour by political parties, such as incitement to violence.
