In 2011 South Africa youth leader Julius Malema told his supporters that the white farmer’s land must be shared by all black Africans.
He was arrested for playing “Kill the Boer (white man)” song at his rallies.
Julius Malema later founded the Economic Freedom Fighters, a South African political party.
Malema recently called for new law to confiscate land from white farmers.

The South African Parliament voted to confiscate land from white farmers this week.
NewsAU reported:
SOUTH Africa’s parliament has voted in favour of a motion that will begin the process of amending the country’s Constitution to allow for the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation.
The motion was brought by Julius Malema, leader of the radical Marxist opposition party the Economic Freedom Fighters, and passed overwhelmingly by 241 votes to 83 against. The only parties who did not support the motion were the Democratic Alliance, Freedom Front Plus, Cope and the African Christian Democratic Party.
It was amended but supported by the ruling African National Congress and new president Cyril Ramaphosa, who made land expropriation a key pillar of his policy platform after taking over from ousted PM Jacob Zuma earlier this month.
