TLU SA HANDS OVER MEMORANDUM TO NPA REGARDING PROSECUTION OF ANDILE MNGXITAMA
“We are all concerned. Everyone in South Africa is.”
With these words Ms Makete, of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) on Tuesday morning accepted a memorandum of TLU SA at the NPA’s head office in Silverton, Pretoria.
The memorandum is about the vengeful and inflammatory words of Andile Mngxitama, leader of Black First Land First (BLF), uttered in December during a public rally in Potchefstroom.
“This kind of hate speech spewing from his mouth continuously is extremely inflammatory and often the spark to lead to violent attacks and even murder on farms,” says the President of TLU SA, Mr Louis Meintjies.
On December 11th 2018 TLU SA laid a charge of hate speech against the leader of the BLF, Andile Mngxitama with the police. The previous day, during a public rally in Potchefstroom, North West, he threatened to kill five white people for every one black person killed. He further made threats against women and children: “We will kill their children, we will kill their women, we will kill anything we find on our way”.
