“Your humanity has been taken away by an evil system of
capitalism that produces racism. Blacks are not human. Blacks are subhuman.
That’s why they can die in Life Esidimeni.”
Malema was in firebrand mode on Wednesday during his speech
in Ermelo in Mpumalanga on Human Rights Day.
He said human rights and land ownership were intertwined. “There
are no human rights in a shack.”
He called Australia racist for planning to fast-track visas
for white South African farmers. Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton
singled out white South African farmers’ need to flee “horrific circumstances”
for a “civilised country”.
Malema said if white South Africans farmers want to pack
for Perth‚ they must go.
“They must leave the keys of the tractors‚ because we want
to work the land. They must leave the keys of the houses‚ because we want to
stay in those houses.”
Malema believes only racists fled to Australia after former
President Nelson Mandela was released from prison and democracy dawned.
“It is the racists again who are going back to Australia.
They will be poor in Australia. They are rich here‚ because they are exploiting
black people‚” Malema said.
“They will come back here with their tails between their
legs. We will hire them‚ because we will be the owners of their farms when they
come back to South Africa.”
Malema said he does not hate white people and the enemy are
those who stole land and do not want to return it.
“I’ve got no hatred for white people. I’ve got fundamental
differences‚ the way they are handling their affairs in South Africa is not
right. They have to change‚” Malema said.
“Why will we kill white people? Robert Sobukwe never wanted
to kill white people … Steve Biko never wanted to kill white people. Albert
Luthuli received a Nobel Peace Prize‚ because he never wanted to kill white
people. We are children of those people. We are not children of [D.F] Malan.” Sowetan
