Twenty-four hours after the South African founder of the radical Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, led a chant of “Kill the Boer, the farmer” at a packed FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, a 79-year-old farmer was brutally murdered and his wife was nearly suffocated to death.
Now, warns the Daily Mail’s special investigations editor, Sue Reid, Malema, a “race-baiting Marxist,” is “set to become Vice President.”
“They came at breakfast time to murder Theo Bekker, smashing an iron bar stolen from his own farmyard into his skull before slitting his throat so he bled to death,” Reid writes. “His four teenage attackers then tied up his wife, Marlinda, and put a plastic bag over her head before she slipped into unconsciousness. Mercifully, she survived.”
As BizPac Review reported, Malema, dubbed the “Hitler of South Africa” by South African-born billionaire Elon Musk, made international headlines with his shocking chant, which included a pantomimed shooting accompanied by the imitated sounds of gunfire.

It wasn’t Malema’s first racist rodeo.
Last year, Malema spoke with the BBC and said, “When the unled revolution comes…the first target is going to be white people,” adding that “black elites” would also be at risk.
Of the Johannesburg rally, Reid writes:
This ugly rally marked the 10th anniversary of the founding of Malema’s party, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). It declares itself Marxist-Leninist, wants to seize private property without compensation — particularly farms such as Theo Bekker’s — just as Malema’s hero, Robert Mugabe, did in neighbouring Zimbabwe.
It demands the nationalisation of the banks and gold mines, and promises to enforce state control along the lines of communist Cuba. Terrifyingly, it could get its way. The EFF is the fastest-growing party in South Africa and Malema, who was raised by a single mother in a black township, the nation’s most forceful political leader.
“After next year’s elections, he could become Vice President,” Reid states. “In vast swathes of the country — twice the size of France and with a population approaching 60 million — support for Malema, particularly among young blacks, is soaring.”
Malema’s actions have raised “red flags” among members of the Democratic Alliance (DA), “a leading opposition party popular among the middle class.”
“The Theo Bekker murder, coupled with Julius Malema’s incitement to ‘Kill the Boer’, has raised serious red flags,” said agriculture spokesperson Noko Masipa. “We must not turn a blind eye to the dangerous rhetoric aimed at one particular group [whites] of our society.”
South Africa’s human rights court, meanwhile, ruled “that any rendition of ‘Kill the Boer’ is not a hate crime,” Reid writes.

“No matter that the killings of white farmers have reached epic proportions,” she continues. “In the past 20 years there has been a farm attack every two days and a murder every five days, with whites of Afrikaans or English descent mainly targeted.”
“According to figures given to the Mail, there have been 42 murders on farms this year — more than one a week,” Reid reports. “Some of these atrocities were praised on social-media sites popular with young blacks.”
As an MP, Reid writes, Malema “boasted of his power earlier this year in a bizarre rant at the national parliament, where EFF has 10 per cent of the seats. ‘I’ve got you by the scrotum,’ he boasted. ‘I am in charge. There is nothing you can do . . . even all of you combined. You can scream anyhow you want — black opposition, white opposition. I want that to sink in.'”
“And this may be the unpalatable truth. National polling for next year’s elections predict the ruling ANC will make a weak showing as South Africans lose hope in the party,” she states. “It is expected to survive in government only by forging a coalition with Malema’s EFF, despite its pledge to destroy South African capitalism.”
Jacques Broodyk, security head of the Afrikaans’ civil rights organization, AfriForum, “which has mobilised 11,000 neighbourhood-watch volunteers to protect farms,” according to Reid, called Malema a “radical maniac.”
“He — like many other South Africans — fears for his country if the extremist politician is voted to power next year, as looks increasingly likely,” Reid states.
