Hate speech trial

The discussion about Bono and his comment in South Africa made me want to look into the topic further. Currently the leader of the African National Congresses youth chapter, Julius Malema, is on trial for hate speech. Due to his popularization of the chant "Shoot the Boer". There has been serious conflicts about weather this song is allowed under free speech or if it crosses the line into hate speech. The man trying Julius Malema claims that by popularizing this song he is advocating for a genocide against the white South Africans. While Julius Malema claims that the song is simply a metaphor. While on trial Malema has been attempting to promote legislation that would take land away from white farmers without compensating them and nationalizing the mines in South Africa. Though on trial for Hate speech Malema seems to be using the majority of his time during the trial to promote himself and his ideology.
