PODCAST | EXPLAINED: Why EFF had last say in AfriForum hate speech case →

in ,

Advocate Ben Winks joined Eusebius McKaiser on Eusebius on TimesLIVE to explain the judgment handed down on Thursday in the Equality Court, in which AfriForum's case against the EFF was dismissed.

AfriForum had hoped the singing of the two songs, Kill the Boer and Biza amaFirebrigade (“call the fire brigade”) would be declared hate speech. The court did not grant this order, and in this explainer podcast, Winks and McKaiser walk us through the reasoning of the court, while also framing some of the wider social and political issues that flow from the judgment.
