Philip Rosenthal of ChristianView Network comments on President Ramaphosa’s stance on Julius Malema and that controversial song
President Ramaphosa has defended himself from Trump’s challenge on Malema’s “Kill the boer, kill the farmer” chant, saying that he can’t simply arrest Malema, and that as a minority party they have a constitutional right to exist. Ramaphosa’s answer is half true. True, he doesn’t have the direct power to just arrest Malema for this chant, but false he is powerless to do anything. What can he do?
- Firstly, and immediately he could use his position as President to strongly condemn the chant as hatred and incitement to violence and ask people to stop doing this. This has no force of law, but will have an influence. It is scandalous that he hasn’t done so already. Anyone with a big megaphone including Christian leaders should do the same.
- Secondly, the President appoints judges on the recommendation of the judicial service commission. Our current Constitutional Court and Supreme Court Court of Appeal lawyers can’t see what is obvious to just about everyone else, and the Concourt even dismissed Afriforums right to appeal the SCA ruling. And this isn’t the only blind biased politicized woke judgments of committees of woke lawyers. If a mechanic repeatedly fails to fix cars, he gets replaced by someone else. The President has powers to replace the judges when there is a vacancy. That is what President Trump did on the US Supreme Court and the result was the overturn of the scandalous Roe v Wade legalization of Abortion. There is typically one Concourt retired judge every year. Over a few years, our woke lawyer senior judiciary could be replaced one by one with competent objective interpreters of the law.
- Thirdly, the President has some but not all power to designate members to the Judicial Service Commission, who then makes recommendations to himself. They can be replaced as vacancies arise with lawyers who support Original Intent interpretation rather than the so called Living Tree interpretation who then bend and twist the meaning of the law, just like liberals twist the meaning of scripture.
- Fourth, the President can withdraw state funding from woke University Law schools like UCT, UWC until they get rid of their woke Professors and give the taxpayers money to educate faithful interpreters of the law.
And on the related question no, I don’t believe there is currently genocide in South Africa in terms of the objective historic meaning of the term, but this kind of mass scale public statements of hatred and incitement to violence do risk leading to genocide. They did precede historic genocides and pogroms, and had that result every time. It is extremely dangerous and must be stopped. The committee of woke lawyers on our Concourt are not innocent or objective interpreters of the law. Neither are the woke journalists and media who pander to and support Malema’s incitement and the parallel killing of the unborn.
