White woman says she loves Julius Malema and invites him on a date

A video featuring a white South African woman expressing admiration for Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema has attracted attention. Identified as Tawney Slabbert, she says she would welcome a date with him, although she doubts he feels the same. Her comments refer to the “Kill the Boer” chant associated with the EFF leader.

In the clip, Slabbert speaks fluent Sepedi and suggests the slogan can be explained differently. However, she does not provide an interpretation in the material shared. The recording’s location and circumstances are not identified, leaving viewers without context about when or where it was made. There is no indication that Malema has seen the video or received her invitation.

The post has prompted reactions. Some users found the invitation amusing and praised Slabbert for speaking Sepedi. Others questioned her admiration for a politician whose party has faced criticism over its rhetoric. Some argued that her remarks showed the chant could be understood differently, while others said her feelings did not address concerns among people who consider the words threatening.

The slogan has been the subject of a lengthy legal dispute. In 2022, the Gauteng High Court dismissed AfriForum’s application to have the EFF’s singing of the “Kill the Boer” and related chants declared hate speech, assessing the words in their historical and political context. The ruling did not end public disagreement over the chant’s meaning or impact.

Slabbert’s video adds a personal dimension to the debate, but it does not establish what the slogan means to every listener or settle the wider argument. The clip also does not confirm that she and Malema have met, communicated privately or discussed the issue. No response from Malema or the EFF is included, and Slabbert’s fuller explanation is unavailable.

For now, the invitation remains an expression in a video, not a confirmed exchange between the two. The attention illustrates how political figures and contentious slogans can generate discussion widely. Any account of Malema’s reaction or Slabbert’s fuller explanation would require information from those involved. Until then, the video should be understood only within the limits of what it shows.
