Delegates of South Africa’s National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) broke out in the song “Kill The Boer,” which has been banned as hate speech, during a meeting last Thursday.
The Johanesburg meeting, also known as an indaba, was attended by union memebers, government officials and representatives from financial institutions who gathered to address housing issues the mine workers have.

NUM deputy general secretary Oupa Komane sparked the outburst by teasing delegates with the hate song before speaking at the podium. Komane then sang only the “Ayesab’ amagwala” part in his closing, which prompted the audience to break out in the full song.
The singing of “Kill the Boer” at a meeting of the National Union of Mine Workers comes after ANCYL leader Julius Malema, whose repeated public singing of the song at political rallies got the song banned, went to neighboring Zimbabwe and laid out plans for expropriating South African farms and mines.
“We hear you are going straight for the mines, that is what we are going to do in South Africa,” Malema told a rally in the Zimbabwean capital Harare.
“They have exploited our minerals for a very long time. We want the mines, now it’s our turn,” he said, before breaking out into the banned hate song.

Should be NUM nuts.
We should sing “Blow Up The Mine”!!!!
Singing a song about cold blooded murder, is far different when you meet the proposed victims who are ready to defend themselves. Not some family in an isolated farmstead! Keep singing scumbags, it may be your last song if you decide to take action against Die BoereVolk. They learnt that at Bloede Rivier!!
