Judge Collin Lamont was correct with the reasoning behind his judgement. Firstly that the song was not a song but a chant because of the manner in which it was being used. And secondly, how most genocides have started with a “person exhorting people to do something” the leads to snow ball effect.
On Malema, after loosing his applications in front of the ANC disciplinary committee then followed by the loss of his hate-speech trial, I can only guess what is in store for the future of him, ANC and S.A.
