Youth League leader Julius Malema will be appearing in the Equality Court in Johannesburg today on AfriForum’s hate speech complaint.
The pressure group laid a complaint about Malema’s continued singing of Dhubul 'Ibhunu (kill the boer).
AfriForum is now also upset about Malema referring over the weekend to Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille as a "cockroach".
AfriForum’s legal representative, Willie Spies, says it is well known that Hutus used the term "cockroach" to describe Tutsis during the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 in which as many as one-million people were killed.
He says after talks with President Jacob Zuma in April, the charges against the ANC were dropped and only Malema faces the charges.
