The most disturbing factor is that since Malema made these dangerous remarks the senior leadership of the ANC has been stonily silent and has not admonished him for his statements. In my view this goes to show that the ANC wholeheartedly supports and agrees with Malema that whites must be eliminated in this country. [Interjections.]
What message does this send to the outside world when we are about to host one of the most important events, the Fifa World Cup? Are we saying that we will welcome whites from outside this country when we want to kill our own whites? [Interjections.]
President Zuma is on record as endorsing Malema as a leader with excellent leadership qualities. God help us if that day ever comes. If anything, Malema is exhibiting qualities of an Idi Amin or a Robert Mugabe in the making.
Malema's views on racial harmony in this country go directly against this year's theme, which says, "From oppression to a human-rights-centred national democratic society". Instead he is calling for the perpetuation of the polarisation of the races in this country. This is doublespeak. I thank you. [Applause.]
