Quick Glance: PA leader Gayton McKenzie calls for ban on 'Kill the Boer' song
- Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie has strongly criticized the singing of the Struggle song 'Kill the Boer, Kill the farmer' and is calling for a ban on the song as it has no place in the new South Africa.
- The Struggle song has come back into the public spotlight after EFF leader Julius Malema sang it with nearly 100,000 supporters during the red beret's 10-year anniversary celebrations at the FNB Stadium last month.
- Opposition political parties, including the DA and the Freedom Front Plus, have condemned the singing of the song, stating that it incites violence against white farmers.
- McKenzie said, 'We have no place today for that song for what we are trying to build in our current South Africa. That song is wrong, it should be banned, we have no time for that nonsensical song in our current South Africa.'
