The African National Congress and AfriForum on Wednesday announced that they had reached an out of court settlement with regards to the former ANC Youth League president Julius Malema’s hate speech case.

The parties made the settlement that meant they would abandon their legal action against each other.

The two parties today are expected to present their settlement on the “Dubula iBhulu” song to the Supreme Court of Appeals.

The African National Congress Secretary-General Gwede Mantashe said that members would have to restrain themselves from singing songs that might be hurtful to minority groups.
Mantashe also said that farmers are leaving the country to look for better business opportunities not because of hate songs.
