Is It OK For These Stellies Students To Chant ‘Kill The Boer’? [Video]

It’s not exactly a secret that universities around the country are, at present, rather tense.

Of course that’s also true over at Stellies, and has been the case ever since the case for changing Afrikaans as the language of instruction became a national talking point.

With the #FeesMustFall protests again highlighting those tensions, it’s worth remembering that the chant of ‘Kill the Boer’ was deemed hate speech back in 2010.

You can read more about that HERE, although let’s move on to the video that was posted to Twitter yesterday:

As the tweet explains, the students are chanting what translates to ‘Kill the boer’.

We know that the right to free speech is enshrined in our Constitution, but does this cross the border into hate speech?”
